The federal government has announced sweeping reforms of the private health insurance system. Australians are being promised simpler policies and more affordable premiums. The government also says there will also be better access to mental health services, with waiting times scrapped. But at the same time government rebates for natural remedies, such as herbal medicines, yoga, Pilates and many more will be taken off the list of items covered. Inna Mitelman is a naturopath and a complementary medicine educator, and she thinks that this government move is very short-sighted because natural remedies and healthy lifestyle adjustments can save millions of dollars in doctor's bills and hospital attendances.
