Did you know… if you don't have private hospital insurance and you earn over $90,000 as a single (or $180,000 as a couple), you may pay extra tax this year due to the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS). You can remove the MLS next year though (and save $$$ in tax) simply by purchasing an HIF GoldVital Hospital policy! GoldVital is Australia's lowest priced Hospital Cover, so what are you waiting for? Join or switch today from $1.53 per day. Visit www.hif.com.au/goldvital to get an instant quote and find out more.

In the meantime, here's a short clip with HIF Executive Manager Anne Humphrey who joined the Everyday Health panel to provide clarity on the Medicare Levy Surcharge and discuss the tax benefits of having a private hospital insurance policy for those earning $90,000 and over.
