When when one insurance company does this, then there is the risk the others will replicate over time.
What I would say is what Leia did is Leia basically cut uh quite a number of plans as opposed in one foul swoop, which is quite unprecedented.
But the other insurance companies have been incrementally reducing benefits on a plan by plan basis.
Now there are still plenty of plans in the market that have the full cover, but they are
are expensive and there are still, you know, and fairness like Leia have just launched, would you believe two new plans?
That only have one has full cover.
It's called Simply Connect Health and it's two thousand seven hundred and eighty.
And they've another one they just launched that has the twenty percent shortfall.
So they know if they don't put some other options in place, they're going to lose a lot of members.
But really, you know, what people need to do is you know, even if you don't want to read through the documentation, you sh everybody should be making one phone call to their insurance company before they renew and simply say
Has anything changed on my plan?
And they have to tell you and if you're not happy with the changes, then challenge them to find you something in around the same premium.
Like even I mentioned the Prosper Advanced.
Anybody who's been impacted by that, there's another plan right now called XL Care.
It's the exact same price, Claire, it's got the exact same benefits, but the shortfall is twenty percent, not forty percent.
Yeah,
It's really so it's it's the insurance companies will attribute this to medical inflation, but it's really down to claims, Claire.
And what's happening is and s you know, you mentioned slaunter care, and this this is one of the factors.
So what's happening is people now are not going into the public system, even as private patients anymore.
They're going to the private system.
