but what does this have to do with NN?
"In Australia, **private health insurance is not ‘risk-rated’ like most forms of insurance**. Private health insurers **cannot refuse to insure any person**, and **must charge everyone the same premium for the same level of cover**, despite their risk profile and **likelihood of using health services.**"
Look after yourself?
Eat healthy?
Sleep well?
Don't smoke?
Don't drink?
fuck you, pay the same as the guy who does
What the actual fuck?
That’s retarded
Even if the company would be willing to offer you a better, more appealing deal
they cannot
*E Q U A L I T Y*
Why should you charge the guy who **ABUSES** his body the same as a guy who takes care of himself?
Thanks @Reaps
That just proves liberal college students don’t know jack shit when they open their mouths here
MUH AUSTRALIAN HEALTHCARE
I suppose the argument is "what if there's only one health company that will cover you? Then they'd have a monopoly and charge whatever they want!"
If the government is swooping in and forcing all companies to fix their prices at a set rate, how is that any better than the monopoly?
So because they can’t charge the abuser more because of his risk, they just charge everybody more right ?
To cover the cost n shieet
Help pay for Peter's broken body with healthy Paul's money
Christ this shit sounds very Soviet
Price fixing
Noone even bats an eyelid
Are most aussies fucking statist sheep?
Neither did I, except I knew I had to take out insurance before I was 32
And that was only because of the threat of loading
I didn't actually look into it any further than that
Jesus Christ this is unfucking believable
theoretically I could just not take out private health insurance
*e v e r*
and never have to worry about the loading fee
Kek
and just rely on medicare
But
Why is it theoretical?
I can only assume I'm missing something there, because that seems like a painfully obvious choice
I'll need to dig into it some more
Exactly
