Why should someone earning big bucks have better healthcare than the poorest of the poor?

That's the only reason i have it, I pay $12 a week for basic singles cover and the saves me a bit over $1500 in tax. Spend $624 to save $1500 is a no brainier to me.

Health Insurance that covers you properly is not $10 or $15 a week, but more like $30+ a week.

Never said it did, only that it saves me $900 odd bucks a year in tax. If i get any benefit from it at all that's just a bonus.
