Health Insurance is a nasty American invention. It is one of the things that makes me proud to be English. Whilst the NHS has its critics it is on the whole it is an incredible thing. It’s true that the NHS is not great if you get a sports injury and need physiotherapy but if you are really ill then it will look after you. I for one can contest it. I used to moan about the doctor waiting times etc etc but a spell in hospital very quickly puts these gripes into perspective.
Hi everybody!
So is health insurance necessary in the UK? Well probably not, but, if you get yourself a nasty sports injury then you are likely to get a better standard of treatment and if you get seriously ill your time in hospital is likely to be more bearable in a private ward. But it has to be said that there is something that wrangles with me when it comes to health insurance. It seems a little bit unfair on those that can’t afford it. That’s life I guess.
