The Medicare Levy funds public healthcare in Australia. Those earning above a $97,000 a year (or $194,000 for couples and families) have to pay the Medicare Levy Surcharge (MLS) unless they have private hospital cover. The surcharge amount varies based on income and is designed to incentivise those with higher incomes totake out private healthcare.
