Successive governments have tried to convince Australians that private health is better than the public system. Australia doesn't agree.

I have Private health insurance because I essentially need to pay the cost of private insurance in extra levies if I don't get it.

I am currently copping the extra levies out of principle.

I would rather pay the extra tax than be forced to entire the criminally corrupt public system.

The problem is that the runaway inflation (caused by corporate price-gouging) is resulting in increased cost of living.

I have been fortunate enough to receive a pay-rise that reduces the pain caused by the CoL crisis, but it has pushed me into a higher tax bracket.
