Its complex.
Children are covered by their parents policy, small discount for seniors, but there is a surcharge for every year you are over 30 that you haven't had insurance, for the first 10 years, and a government subsidy on premiums that reduces once your income is over 105K. Add to that we all pay a 2% Medicare Levy with our income tax which increases if you don't have insurance and earn over 105K.
Need a finance degree to understand it!

Oh LGXDownunder tried to explain it to me once. My head is still hurting from trying to wrap myself around it.
I thought the US system was complex before reading his (and your) accounts. Now I'm not so sure. After all you got to compare.

But we got a new (old) president who at the end of his rule intends to make it all "free market". Then all would be really simplified with you getting "what you deserve and not a penny more!"
This just happened https://abcnews.com/Health/trump-admini ... =135176506

but to paraphrase an old Carpenters song "He only just began"

How are you doing man? My head also hurts whenever I try and explain it . The Carpenters feature strongly in the soundtrack of my life. "Yesterday once more" is probably my favourite. Always makes me sad though when I think about Karen Carpenter.
