Yup. There are private health insurance companies/hospitals in Australia where i live. They provide better food, your own room etc. Ain’t nothing wrong with the public system, really. But private health insurance is there.
Me either! 🤣 But I’ve been witness to a few sports club/workplace injuries that have private insurance involved. You get to recover in a nicer room, but the procedures seem to always be in the same public hospital us peasants use.
Yeah. You get to jump the queue for elective / non-critical stuff. And even if the surgery is in the private system it’s usually the same doctor. I had a pretty serious surgery done, and it was in private hospital, but the same doctor does 2 days private and 2 days public every week.
private insurance still exists for the very rich or as supplemental insurance.

But if you need anything other than very minor surgery odds are you’re still getting it done in a public hospital.
