I’m in regular contact with artist friends in the UK and Canada and absolutely none of them do this. And neither did any of my family in the UK. Not sure where you’re getting this idea from.
- arethuza 7y agoThe only people who generally have private health insurance in the UK (other than dental care) are those who work for companies where, usually senior, staff get this as a taxable part of their package. I wouldn't have thought that artists would belong to this category.
- tinyhouse 7y agoThat's true for the UK but not for many European countries. See https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/health_glance-2015-39-en.pdf?expires=1575305434&id=id&accname=guest&checksum=9D19D04B300E74512459F5C13EC2C57F https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/health_glance-2015-3...
- aiphex 7y agoHere in Canada health insurance is seen as important. Government does not cover dentistry, mental health, eyecare, physiotherapy, ambulance. There are provincial programs to help with prescription drug costs, but the deductible that must be met first is quite high.
