The last time the rightchoice was upgraded..never. The curent levels were set 10 years ago when the scheme was introduced. Many people were complaining that it was costing too much and they were always exceeding limits. My guess is that the rise has nothing to do with inflation, but more aligning now for the lack of activity over the last 10 years to ensure that we are all a little more protected, and if that costs $30 for each drs visit, why not? I don't know any other country where medical is totally free. In my mind, all CX staff (expats, gnd and crew) should pay a nominal fee, and not just gnd staff. Why should crew not pay anything?
