Is Private Health Insurance worth it for a farmer?

[Derrick Hughes]

I pay so much tax I refuse to take private health care with the day job, not paying them anymore benefit in kind

For life threatening illness your safer in the Hands of the NHS than anyone IMO , they saved my wife and my Sister from certain death from Cancer , treatment was A class , would not have gone private if it was free

Having had a family member with a quad bypass in his 40’s this year I am not 100% I agree with. He is still with us but a bit of a sh!t show from the 4 hrs in an and E as they didn’t believe he was having a heart attack to holing him while trying to stent.

I wouldn't take that view- I think if you can afford it you are better off paying because it will likely get you back to work/life faster if you ever need any treatment.

put same money into saving/investment then use to go private if needed

Thank you for that suggestion.
As I am not that well up with savings accounts that are giving a good interest rate ,that may keep up with the ever increasing cost of private medical care , would you be able to PM me some suggestions. That said I quite I understand if I don’t hear anything from you.
Thanks in advance .
