Actual article here because the OP was lazy

AROUND 850,000 people face a stiff new increase in their health insurance after the Government surprisingly raised the levy on all policies by 40pc.

The move means an average family of two adults and two children will have to pay up to €220 more for health cover if the insurance companies pass on all the increase.

Customers are already smarting from huge increases in the cost of health insurance, announced just before Christmas.

The 40pc increase means the levy will immediately go up by an average of €80 -- from €205 to €285 -- for each adult and from €66 to €95 for every insured child.
