16 May 2018 - A quarter of a million Australians did not renew their private health insurance in the past year, a new survey shows.
An ongoing Roy Morgan survey involving 50,000 face-to-face interviews every year found 256,000 Australians who had health insurance at some point in their lives chose not to renew it in the year to March 2018.
This is "significantly" up from 182,000 Australians in the same period the previous year.
