Health insurance split favors private funds says minister

Health minister Mr Hunt said about half the population would save health care wholly with private funds. A family could pay around $9,000 a year for private insurance to choose a doctor in hospital. Many would opt for private funds like MediBank with a private hospital option or basic Medibank cover.
