Sir, – My costly health insurance provides me with benefits such as a “digital gym”, a wellbeing studio, health coaches, acupuncture, osteopaths, chiropractors, reflexology, homeopathy, sports appliances and many more that I don’t envisage needing.
I’m guessing that the cost of my premium reflects all these unwanted and unrequested add-ons. Is there any chance that health insurers could go back to what health insurance was originally intended for and offer a scheme that covers hospitalisation and associated costs only, without all the fluff and at a more affordable cost? – Yours, etc,
MARY CANNON,
Navan,
