Private insurance means jumping the queue and it's a status symbol.

Without divulging too much, since I was a little boy I've had world expert surgeons and consultants operating on me. Neither of my parents worked since I turned 13. I work in a real big boy job with private healthcare and I've never even activated it. I've got 3 consultants at 3 different hospitals for 3 different very complex and intertwined problems and I wouldn't swap those motherfuckers for the biggest texan in the land.

Kyuuji's issue is he's a fucking whopper who wants tits grafted on for free. If he wasn't an insufferable cunt and joined the queue like a real Englishman he'd have them by now. Alas.

Unlike my more mental comrades I'm pretty comfortable with a bit of private in the mix, because ultimately what matters is the universal service provision and only an idiot would imagine they can't co-exist and complement each other if the universal element covers the non-drama llama stuff.

Another way of putting it. My stroke victim dad has an ulcerated leg. District nurses come twice a week to treat it and change the dressings. He hasn't worked since 2003.
