Private Healthcare

My GD knows something about private insurance and no pre existing conditions are covered until at least 2/3 years after you start paying premiums.
I believe that some serious ones are never covered.
For older people just taking out cover the cost is phenomenal.
Even after many years with the same provider it it still very very expensive for older people and goes up every year ,one factor being that you are a year older so more risky and secondly medical inflation, cost of consultants,
hospitals and all the other associated costs.
This increase is a high percentage.

Elless I am certain that old conditions are not taken on board by a private health company. Even if I could afford it and I cannot, because of the sheer cost, most parts of my body would be classed as an old condition.

Seriously, why would anyone pay for private health care , when we have the best health care system in the world ? We are the envy of the world.

Some don't find waiting best - we don't want to wait.

Perhaps because of the waiting lists?

Out of curiosity, I had a look at BUPA prices,could not believe how much it was,way out of my budget…🫣🤨

No help from me, sorry, but just bumping the thread as I’m sure someone can offer advice.
