This indicates (to me) that the policy is a good one.

One would assume the treasury boffins have calculated that a sufficient number of people on around $80k wouldn't take up private health cover if they weren't subsidised such that the cost to the public purse would be greater. If they are 'doing it tough' why would you want the entire cost of their healthcare subsidised through the public system? Depends on the income elasticity of demand for private health.

Ideally, all the money going from tax payers to private health should go to the public health system. I agree, that people on $80k aren’t doing it tough.

But still, is it not still absurd to give the full subsidy to people on $83,000 a year? That's hardly doing it tough. A decent result would be if the income levels just don't change for a couple of decades, let slow wage inflation destroy what's left of the upper-middle class aspect. SO I agree with this, yeah yeah.

I wondered, is the creative unions manifesto available elsewhere online, now the cu site is no more? It was a really useful document and i'd love to have a copy. All the best, J Hi,
