WOW!! is that a standard price Vicki?

That is SO expensive....I don't know how anyone on an average wage could afford to have private health cover then. I know I couldn't

We have been in the same health fund for 25 years and the premiums have increased annually since joining but I would NEVER let it drop, especially after them paying out >$70k for surgery #1 and >$45k for surgery #2 plus a dozen other non spine sugeries for the family.

Joey Sue, yours sounds a little more reasonable....is it usual for employers to contribute to health insurance as part of your employment package? It's very uncommon for that to happen here.....unless you actually work for the health insurance co

I guess I"ll stop complaining about the cost of health here now.
