Health cover price war set to hot up
Laya Healthcare, Ireland’s second-largest health insurance provider, yesterday announced Ireland’s lowest cost health insurance plan in a bid to attract younger buyers. The plan, called Assure Vitality, costs €430 a year for a single adult. The cost of insuring a family of two adults and two children on the same scheme starts from €1,152.
From May 1, new penalties will apply to those over the age of 34 taking out insurance cover for the first time.
