We both have private health cover through our jobs. I have every respect for the NHS and know its flaws through family experiences. Private Healthcare is great IMO, I can afford it and any work I've had done has been in private hospitals (Cholesteatoma ops x2, grommit and other related scans). BUPA cherrypick because they can, that is the fault of the government. I would not let BUPA 'bribe' me to go NHS if it was something they should be sorting.
