Families will face substantial increases in health insurance costs as cumulative price hikes may push a typical family to pay up to €460 more annually, limiting access.
The health insurance market is seeing waves of price hikes, with VHI, Irish Life, and Laya Healthcare all implementing increases this year, heightening affordability concerns for families.
Despite a 3.5% increase from VHI, a 25% reduction in children's premiums for selected plans provides a slight relief amidst wider ongoing financial pressures on families.
Insurers like VHI note significant increases in claims and costs from private hospitals, hinting at further potential price rises due to ongoing medical inflation.
