I’m an American so I always thought it’s cool you have NHS because we have to either pay for our own health insurance or we get it from our employer. What do you mean by health insurance there - are those additional offerings that NHS doesn’t provide?
- mattmanser 6y agoYeah, usually allows you to jump the queue for ops and to get a private room. Access specialists you may not have got referred to by NHS. See [1] for full list. For example a friend of mine had a gallbladder removed on private last month but would have had to wait till middle of next year in NHS. Not usually that bad, but covid means a lot of NHS hospitals are having to push back non-essential surgery.
