Families are being urged to shop around for their health insurance after the Federal Government gave insurers the nod to increase premiums by an inflation-busting five per cent.
The rise will cost the typical family about $100 a year in extra fees, but a specialist price-comparison website for health policies could help families save a large part of that increase by finding the best cover for their circumstances.
