My one experience of private health care in the UK was bad enough: the medical care was great, it was relatively minor elective surgery, I verified everything as carefullly as I could, but I accidentally used an out-of-network aneasthetist and ended up having to pay £300 out of my own pocket because the insurance wouldn't cover it. Scaling that up to something like cancer care, where the patient is by definition not in a good way and the care is vastly more complex and I find it kind of incomprehensible.
