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.

Waiting lists are long over here in the US too, depending on the specialty and region. We're simply overpaying for the same quality healthcare while still failing to get 100% coverage.

This is incorrect.

We are overpaying for lower quality healthcare.

We have worse outcomes than countries with free healthcare.

As my father used to say "it may be bad, but it's expensive."
