As of 1 April 2005, the Private Health Insurance Rebate has increased from 30 percent to 35 percent for people aged from 65 to 69 years and to 40 percent for people aged 70 years and older.
Older people taking out private health insurance for the first time will also be eligible for the higher rebate.

I am extremely annoyed at the Labor Govt for this measure, as I think health is extremely important to everyone. Again the govt has targed middle income people, and at the same time is wasting huge amounts of money in other areas (their own payrises, asylum seekers, the list goes on). At the same time we are seeing no major infrastructure being built in Austalia and feel that we are falling behind the rest of the world.
