Almost 14 million Australians with private health insurance will face a price hike come April 1 â the second in just six months â and the hits keep coming.
The federal government will also decrease its rebate slightly from 25.059 per cent for under 65s on the base tier to 24.608 per cent on April 1, making premiums a little more pricey.
