Labor is promising families they will save hundreds of dollars a year under its plan to stop price increases on private health insurance. Opposition Leader Bill Shorten says a proposal to cap premiums shows Labor is the only party that has a "fair dinkum" plan to deal with cost of living pressures. A Labor government would cap private health insurance increases to two per cent for two years compared with a 10-year average of 5.5 per cent, saving a family $ 344.
