Why cancelling your private health insurance could have unintended consequences
20 January 2020 - Nick Maconachie and Anna Dimeas have very different views on private health cover.
On one side, Sydney financial technology worker Mr Maconachie, 37, has recently cancelled his private health insurance, saying it was a waste of money he would rather spend on fitness. He takes boxing classes three times a week, as well as paying for a gym membership.
On the other side, Melbourne mum Ms Dimeas, 51, says she would never be without her two policies, having recently paid no gap for two knee reconstructions and with a hip replacement on the cards in coming months.
