Is private insurance still available if I want more exotic options? Sounds like the best of both worlds to me.

- elemeno 14y agoYup. You can happily pay for private insurance, or pay out of pocket for private care, and you'll be able to get all the drugs that the NHS thinks are too expensive for the benefits they bring, or surgical procedures that are considered experimental.
- redblacktree 14y agoSo why all the hate for socialized medicine? If the rich(er) folks want to have access to the most exotic care, they can still have it. Meanwhile, people who can't afford basic care today will get it. Come on, America.
- abrown28 14y agoBecause it involves force to implement and removes my control. At least that's my reason for hating socialized anything.
- rmc 14y agoYep. You can go private if you want and if you have the money. My father in law in the UK got a cataract done privately. If you have the money, you can get what you want.
