It is crazy to force people to have private health insurance and means test for the 30% insurance rebate.
It is another form of tax grab by a government which wastes taxpayers' money and try to grab more from them to enable it to waste more.
What a crazy and greedy government it is!
If the government is to means test for that rebate, it should remove the health insurance surcharge altogether.
The government-forced impost of the private health insurance on middle and high income earners and the partial rebate, when introduced in the first place by the former Howard government, were a policy package.
It was already an unnecessary impost on those people because they already pay much higher taxes and that policy just conceals the hidden further higher effective taxes on them.
Now Labor wants to try it again to impose further burdens on them!
I haven't read the Henry taxation review report and don't know if this hidden tax was included in that review or not.
