Last week, the government released a white paper proposing a new voluntary medical insurance plan.
The base plan would be risk-rated, with premiums based on factors like age, gender and health status, and would cover individuals up to the age of 85.
It’s expected to be rolled out early next year, so what questions should we be asking about it before then?
