Re: Medical Insurance, yes or no with who
I'm generally against private medical insurance but I need to get my wisdom teeth taken out which over here costs around $1500 - 2000 so far as I can make out.
I was considering signing up to private insurance, getting them to cover the cost of the wisdom teeth and then dropping the policy. Is this feasible?

My strategy is to go with these people http://dentacare.com.au/. Family care is $99 for families, reduced to $69 for Union Shopper members.
Wife had a crown (item 613). $1400 reduced to $1100 with $300 using Gold extras from http://www.gmhba.com.au/web/extras-c...as-covers.aspx.
Gold extras is $1,063 p.a.
Using Dentacare it would have been $1280 for a yearly fee of $69.

Re: Medical Insurance, yes or no with who
but many of the visitor cover policies don't meet the qualifying insurance criteria so you can end up still paying the levy
