Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anderson" data-source="post: 145008" data-attributes="member: 123">The number of people with private health insurance rose slightly between April and June, despite a significant spike in the cost of premiums.Latest figures from the Health Insurance Authority (HIA) show just over 2.5 million people had private health insurance during the second quarter of the year, representing a little more than 46% of the population.There was an increase of 4,130 people with a policy during the quarter, however, this growth has slowed considerably when compared with previous quarters.In the first three months of this year there was a rise of 7,318 people taking out private health insurance, while in the third quarter of 2024 the increase was higher at 13,633.There are currently 344 inpatient plans available to consumers, with six new plans added since the start of 2025.[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rte.ie/news/business/2025/0930/1536029-46-of-irish-population-now-have-health-insurance-hia/[/URL]Are you one of the 46%?Thats a huge number when you think about the state of the HSE.  Half the population relying on private health care and yet our hospitals are over crowded and waiting lists go into years.Imagine in nobody could afford health insurance, the system would break.</blockquote>
