Mum and daughter switch on to savings

SINGLE mum Chantal-Maree Devereaux has paid for health cover for nearly 20 years and says it costs more than ever.

The 42-year-old pays more than $270 a month with CUA Health for herself and her daughter Lucinda, 10.

"I saw a large increase in the medical cover over the past few years and in all honesty couldn't understand just what it was supposed to be covering and what extras they were going to give us," she said. "There didn't seem to be any benefit."

Ms Devereaux said modern living meant health insurance was almost mandatory for parents wanting to give their children the best possible medical cover.

She said she joined the One Big Switch campaign because insurance was "completely overpriced".

"Insurance in today's society is required just as much as drinking water because you never know what is going to go wrong in your life or what is going to happen to you or your child," she said.

"There is no benefit as a single mum; (I'm) paying as much as a family."

The campaign was successful this week in obtaining a 10 per cent discount on a range of ahm insurance policies.

Ms Devereaux said it was a great result and she would definitely take up the offer. "I think sometimes as a nation we pay more than we should," she said.
