I'm a fairly strict athlete, and have already had a number of injuries, all luckily minor, but I'd like to get health insurance due to my fairly high risk lifestyle. As I've seen people with non life threatening conditions on the public system, I've seen them waiting years for treatment, that's not a position I ever want to put myself in. I'm not concerned with luxuries, I don't want a private room if I ever have to stay in a hospital, I'm not too concerned with having access to private hospitals. My main concern is, if I do require treatment for something, that I can get it quickly, so what should I be looking for?
