The government levy on health Insurance
I wish we had a competent public health care system but,in the absence of one many of us or our employers pay for private health insurance for us.
In November 2008, the Irish Government announced the introduction of a new levy on health insurance with effect from the 1st January 2009.
The levy equates to 160 euro per adult and 53 euro per child.
(Google is full of links to stories about it)
I noticed that Hibernian health have launched an Axe the levy campaign.
