STOP THE HEALTH TAX
The NSW Government is planning to tax 4 million residents with health insurance to repair its budget deficit. This will add $156 to the cost of health cover for families with two adults next year, making NSW the most expensive state in Australia to hold health insurance.
People with health insurance are not rich. Sixty-five per cent of people with health cover earn less than $90,000 a year. This tax will cause thousands of people to drop their insurance, forcing them to rely on public hospitals instead.
NSW already has the longest waiting times for surgery in Australia. This will blow out waiting times for emergency care and surgery even more.

Dear Premier Minns,
As one of the 4 million people in NSW with health insurance, I do not support your plans for a new health tax.
Your health tax will add $156 per year to health insurance premiums for NSW families, causing more than 75,000 people to drop their insurance and rely on our busy public hospitals instead.
Our public hospitals have the longest waiting times for elective surgery in Australia and our emergency departments are at breaking point. This will blow out waiting times for public healthcare even more.
Most people with health insurance are not wealthy. Sixty-five per cent of people with health cover have a taxable income of $90,000 or less. We cannot take another financial hit. We are paying taxes for the public system and contributing to our own healthcare via insurance premiums, and now you want us to pay a third tax for nothing in return. This cannot be justified.
I urge you to abandon this tax because it is going to hurt me financially and reduce access to public hospitals for all NSW residents.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]

We're calling on @Chris Minns to stop the new health tax that will impact 4 million NSW residents. Your government's new health tax plan will create a new bill of $156 for families in NSW with private health insurance from 2025. In a cost-of-living crisis, consumers should not be billed to cover your budget deficit. https://stopthehealthtax.com.au/
