    We have the option to go private too. My brother had his NHS appointment delayed due to doctors’ strikes so he went private and got his operation done very quickly.

    Because he had insurance already it only cost him about £150.

      Also, having the NHS as a direct competitor drives down the price, much like social housing did to house prices.

      Its why certain types hate those two things.
