Health insurance faces pressure

Tue, 15 Jul 2008

Due to tight household budgets and financial problems caused by the credit crunch, many consumers are looking to curb their non-essential spending. Many individuals are thought to choose health insurance as one form of protection that they could do without, according to recent studies.

However, strong BUPA sales and reports that private medical insurance takeup in the UK now exceeds seven million contradict this finding. Consumers looking for good quality healthcare on the national health service will be glad to hear that NHS queues are dropping, officially at least.

Whether the National Health Service will remain a free resource remains to be seen, and currently some life saving drugs are not available on the health service. The importance of health cannot be underestimated, and whilst nothing can guarantee good health, at least a private medical insurance policy should guarantee prompt, good-quality medical care.
