> Did I mention that there is no way to go private other than paying out of pocket, and of course who would run a medical company in a country with universal healthcare?
Like many people here, I’ve held private insurance in the UK. The last time I paid for it, I think I paid £150/m for it, but I’ve had several employees cover it.
- TomMarius 8y agoUK does not have a universal healthcare system in a comparable way to continental Europe. It is excluded from what I said, but it's not much of a change - that makes it sixth in the world. Out of 195.
- DanBC 8y agoHow does the UK not have universal healthcare?
- TomMarius 8y agoSorry I was mistaken, however: Every commenter here is talking about their experiences in private clinics. These are not a part of most universal healthcare systems and it's polar opposite of what the USA liberals are proposing. That's why I didn't want to count UK in, however other commenters have proved to me that it was a mistake - if any homeless man is able to get such treatment, I have to agree it's universal - but is this true? Noone here confirmed that yet.
- jsmith99 8y agoExactly. I've also had private health insurance in the UK in the past. It cost a lot less than £150/month and when I used it I generally ended up in posh central London hospitals that get enough of their business from rich Arabs that they boasted of their Dubai TV channels.
