The moment people hear the words ‘private' medical insurance, they come up with the following synonyms: expensive, unnecessary, complicated and other unflattering similes. However, these are not just unflattering, most of the times, they are also untrue. While many people remain aware of the limitations of NHS, and the importance of private medical insurance, few want to do anything about it because of such myths. This article helps bust the few most prevalent ones:
1. Insurance is unnecessary. With the NHS around, who needs health insurance? Everyone. Because the NHS as a system is severely drained, with every single UK resident claiming support and very few (those who have taxable incomes) pitching in. It does not take a lot of imagination to figure out where you stand in an equation of this sort. NHS does provide free medical treatment, but at a very high cost. The cost of choices, of quality, of priority and of peace of mind. You are very likely to not get treatment promptly, or as comfortably as you would like. You are also less likely to be able to choose the hospital or doctor who you will entrust your life with, and the peace of mind, that you will have the best. In such a scenario, having private medical insurance becomes almost essential.
