The provision of health services in Australia currently is primarily financed by a unique interaction of public and private insurers. This commentary looks at a loophole in this framework, namely that private insurers have to date been able to avoid funding healthcare for some of their policy holders, as it is not a requirement to use private insurance when treatment occurs in Australian public hospitals.
目前，澳大利亚医疗服务的提供主要由公共和私人保险公司的独特互动提供资金支持。本评论审视了这一框架中的一个漏洞，即迄今为止，私人保险公司能够避免为其一些投保人提供医疗保健资金，因为在澳大利亚公立医院接受治疗时并不要求使用私人保险。
