For those of you interested in facts and figures, The Australian Bureau of Statistics has just released this report, which presents an overview of the health expenditure of households in Australia. It is based on data from the 2003–4 ABS Household Expenditure Survey and the 2004–5 ABS National Health Survey.
One of the results was that despite different incomes, households spend on average the same proportion (5%) of their disposable income on medical care and health expenses.
