Well, you've really got your teeth into that one.

Yes many of those extras we pay extra for are the ones we rarely if ever use or ever need?

I can't see why we need an extra 22% loading over and above admin cost simply to pad the bank balances of foreign shareholders?

That same money would serve us better if set aside for dental care! Particularly given things like some heart conditions have their origin in substard dental care.

They say (one born every minute) a fool and their money are soon parted, which for mine, describes every member of a private health fund, governed by a profit imperative! Get out and into a member's own! There's a veritable largely unadvertised list of them. Alan B.
