Hi @Queenie

Yeah I know I will keep my private health fund as well.  I just think at times it's so expensive each fortnight to come up with such a huge amount.

But you're right at least with private cover you can have the same psych and be admitted straight away to a private hospital.  I have a $250 excess once a year fee.  i could pay less a fortnight but my excess would increase to $500 that is too much to come up with at once.

Thanks for your reply, i was just interersted in others opinions.
