Private Health
Insurance: Luxury
or Necessity?

Is private health insurance a luxury you can do without?

Is private health insurance a luxury you can do without? Some may think twice about going private, but investing in a private health plan could be the best decision you ever make. Here’s why…

Good health is priceless

Can you put a price-tag on good health? Probably not. But ask yourself this: how much does ill-health cost you? Poor health forces you to rein in your finances. It deprives you of working income and makes it harder for you to support yourself and your family. Long-term sickness inflicts serious financial hardship and may become a big emotional burden for you and your loved ones.

So, the question is, can you afford not to have health insurance?

Small investment. Big returns

Of course, health insurance comes at a price. But today, health plans are affordable for most people and represent just a fraction of typical monthly living costs. In fact, the average premium for a health plan in the UK is the equivalent of buying a cup of coffee every day.* Millions of people from all walks of life choose to pay a relatively modest sum to enjoy the huge benefits of private health cover.

Less delay. Less financial pain

The NHS does its best, but every day it’s under growing pressure to meet its performance targets. Why put up with prolonged illness and financial worries while you wait for your NHS treatment? Going private gives you speedy access to high quality healthcare and the best chance of a fast recovery and a rapid return to paid work.

Private health: driving choice and convenience

When it comes to getting from A to B, all of us will use the UK’s publicly-subsidised network of buses and trains at some time or another. Yet millions of us decide we want more comfort, flexibility and convenience when we travel and pay extra to buy and run our own cars. So why question the need for paying a little more for private health cover? After all, what’s true for your transport is also true for your most precious commodity, your health.

Make health your No 1 priority

There are few things in life more vital than your health. So, there are few better ways to spend your money than paying for good private medical insurance to ensure you and your family stay healthy and happy.
