Hey @triplejHack, Briony’s story has nothing to do with #PHI. If you front up to an ED and get admitted in a public hospital, you don’t pay a cent! If she had PHI she may have taken up a private bed but she would have been treated regardless.
Story currently up on the website implies that all costs were incurred privately and doesn't mention public hospital at all https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/private-health-insurance-needs-young-aussies/11314966 …

Also worth mentioning that if her ordeal cost 0 dollars it's almost certainly because public hospitals cover the costs of insurance excesses if you choose to use your insurance as any incentive

Thanks - fixed!

I think what I struggle with in this situation is that while Briony clearly values the contribution that PHI made to her experience, she'd likely have been treated very similarly without it
