City slickers clean up on health

Richard Denniss of the Australia Institute (http://www.tai.org.au/) has looked at private health insurance across Australia and found that "the 30 per cent private health insurance rebate results in a disproportionate amount of government health expenditure being channelled into capital cities despite the poorer health services and outcomes in regional areas." The paper, "Health spending in the bush: an analysis of the geographic distribution of the private health insurance rebate", is based on unpublished ABS data and can be found at http://www.tai.org.au/WhatsNew_Files/WhatsNew/regional%20health%20insurance.pdf.
