    Private healthcare isn't a magic bullet at all. Going through private health insurance is like flying with Ryanair, basic hospital care might be covered but the many "extras" (there was a time when anaesthesia came under this category) come out of your own pocket. Most private healthcare providers are engaged in blatant profiteering from what I can see.

    If it's not something that needs to be tended to within a week or so, then your best option is to go public imo.

    With a little help from the 225k p/a + private practice consultants of course using public facilities to cram their bank accounts to bursting.
