Great piece by @niltiac on why you should wait til you're old to get private health cover http://bit.ly/29Khdvd

I think if revenue from a 'levy' is to be treated as a regular tax then we should just make it a regular tax. Deceit
-
yes, calling it a Medicare levy without hypothecation is odd, but the hypothecation is meaningless in practice
-
It also works differently to a regular tax because it's on your whole income not just the bit above threshold.

I don't think we should get an exemption from MLS for having insurance but that's a policy question. 1/2
-
Ethically for individuals buying insurance to avoid MLS is like any other tax deduction (though mechanics different)
-
Your article completely neglects MLS though, as if that isn't a major reason young ppl have private health.

Look again, it's there.
