Do you support reducing the additional rebate on private health insurance for Victorians aged 65 and a further reduction for Victorians aged 70? *

• Yes
• No

Under the proposed changes, Victorians aged 65 and over earning under $105,000 as a single person, or $210,000 as a family, will have their private health insurance rebate reduced from 28.14% to 24.12%. For those aged 70 and over, the rebate will be reduced from 32.16% to 24.12%. Would this reduction in private health insurance lead you ro reduce your level of cover or drop private health insurance altogether? *

• Yes
• No

Will this reduction in the private health insurance rebate force more Victorians into the public system, removing their choice of private hospital treatment, and increase public waiting time? *

• Yes
• No

If you wish, please share any additional comments or experiences with the Victorian public hospital system, including long waiting times etc.
