Medicare Levy Surcharge

My question is to the Minister for Health and Ageing. Minister, how much will private health insurance premiums rise by as a result of the government forcing half a million people off private health into the public health system? Minister, what discussions has the government had with the states about compensating them for the one-half million extra people who will be joining the public hospital queue?
