Under the proposed changes, all Australians will now receive the same private health support based on their income, not their age. Over-65s will still receive significant government subsidised discounts of up to 24 per cent on the premiums that private health insurers charge them, and that is the same as the rest of the population. As I indicated in my answer to your primary question, the average impact on those 65 years and older is less than a dollar a day—an average of $250 a year.
