It's not often discussed but as waiting lists can be long for free at point of use health care, most big companies offer private healthcare for employees that costs ~£50 per month.

I find that a very good deal.

You know what's fun? In the US, we still have "concierge doctors", who charge an annual fee just to have access to their offices. This is on top of the cost of insurance, assuming they accept it, and it can be thousands of dollars per year. This additional fee also lets you "skip the line", since non-concierge doctors can have a many-month wait for "new patient" appointments.

I'm so glad we don't have to worry about all those problems that come with public healthcare systems. /s
