And worst of all is these huge gap payments that always occur where if I had just gone to my local public hospital it wouldn't of cost a thing.

This luxury insurance costs me about $200 a month, and I still can't make heads or tails of what I am actually insured for?
Yeah i know excactly what its like Aussie, i was insured for many years until i stopped work, the insurance companies get stuck right into you, the bills just keep on coming and comimg.
I decided to drop out because if its real serious they will do it straight away in most cases anyway, but ailments like hip, knee etc, problems, are not life threating so they only class it as elective surgery, non urgent, no matter how painfull & disabling it is, they don't care.
