PQ 2404
2404. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Health his views on whether the lifetime community rating for health insurance can be examined on a case by case basis given that in some cases the amount the customer is paying more to the State between the rating and the Government levy than the cost of the premium for the cover; if he will review the manner in which the lifetime community rating is calculated by reducing the number of years over 34 years of age that a loading is applied; his views on whether there is justification for such a large levy being placed on such policies; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
