Hello guys, mag ask lang ako about Private Health Insurance.
Advisable po ba na kumuha na agad nito pagdating na pagdating pa lang sa Australia?
May nabasa po ako sa link na ito.. Nakastate dyan na ang Medicare Tax Levy Surchareg ay 0% if ang sweldo ng individual ay $88,000 or below. Ang ibig sabihin po ba nito eh, kung ang sweldo mo annually ay below $88,000, okay lang na hindi na kumuha ng Private Health Insurance?

The Medicare Levy Surcharge works like an additional tax and applies to Australian residents for taxation purposes who are high income earners and don't have an appropriate level of hospital cover.
Recently the Government introduced new legislation which changes the income thresholds and the amount added to your tax bill. The tables below outline the new income thresholds and the surcharge that will apply as of 1 July 2013.*
