If you are fortunate enough to enjoy full health count your blessings because once you have been treated once by private health your premiums will go skywards
They are like any other insurance company,bean counters,and once you start costing them beans they hike your premiums or drop you like a ton of bricks. No doubt you have heard of cases where by failing do disclose some minor past ailment they have used it as an out clause
The NHS is not perfect but I genuinely think they do there best and I take my hat off to them
