澳洲健康保险人因「产品凤凰」的做法而面临批评, 他们中止更便宜的医疗保险政策, 代之以类似、更昂贵的医疗保险。 Australian health insurers are facing criticism for a practice called "product phoenixing," where they discontinue cheaper health insurance policies and replace them with similar, more expensive ones. 由于这一漏洞,他们得以绕过每年提高保费的限额,导致新客户每月平均多付38美元。 This loophole allows them to bypass annual premium increase limits, resulting in new customers paying an average of $38 more per month. 卫生部长Mark Butler将这称为“价格调控”, 并警告如果该行业不自我管制, Health Minister Mark Butler has labeled this as "price gouging" and warned of potential legislative action if the industry does not self-regulate.
