Hi, im 17 i have finally decided that im going to get some private health insurence, as i do 2 high risk sports and am a pretty acident prone person. I do kiteboarding and downhill skateboarding.

you also might want to consider Income Protection/Insurance... even if you do/don't get lots/much/any coverage with health insurance you will still be getting an income that is comparable to what you had whilst healthy (and, presumably working).

get the cheap one.
Make sure you are covered for your surgeries and your teeth. But you do not need much more. Your pretty young so you should be ok. I think you just need operations and elective surg.

It is a prick cause it costs you. I had mine for years, finally came through in the end with disk replacement, after all this time i only broke even.

The thing is it was there when i needed it. Be advised you also need a card you do not use. My op put me out $5000(with full private)you do not want to know how much it would have cost without the cover, but the result is i can still go kiting good luck

likuid,
do it now and your repayments will stay low for the rest of your life, also crank up your superannuation with what you can afford now, no matter how little.
in twenty years time you will have a smile on your face.
wish i did it at 17.

dude **** that, burn all your cash right now, have fun. Money when your fat, have high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes , an ugly wife you hate and 2 demented children is worthless. Live it up now! Go hard.

Then when u are like 60 or watever, crank out the pension and go kiting at avalon everyday.
