The best way to save with health insurance is to not have it. Or just keep the extras, for dental and optical work. If we all decided to do that, tens of billions of dollars would be freed up again to spend on actual health care. The private health insurance industry is in terminal decline, because its product is rubbish, and will always be rubbish. It doesn’t ‘take the pressure off public hospitals’ either, as the spin always goes.
