I've got a couple of relatives in NHS hospitals at the moment.
The level of care they are getting is shockingly bad. Obviously people are doing their best, but they are over worked and under staffed.
I'm all for supporting the NHS and keeping it free for everyone, and I know that for serious illness like cancer you have to go through the NHS, but there is nothing more valuable than your health, so
I've been considering getting some health insurance so if I need to I can see a doctor quicker than being on a waiting list, and for non life threating procedures etc.
Has anyone had any experience of going private?
Worth getting insurance, or just have a decent lump sum in the bank for if anything crops up, or a waste of money?
