We know that the public system is clogged. There are over 500,000 people in the public system on the surgery waiting list, 3,000 in the ACT. Only half of people needing semiurgent surgery are seen on time in the ACT. Is there any plan from the government to rein in increases to insurance premiums when people aren't seeing value from their private health insurance?
