MFs who support this usually point to current UK private healthcare costs and imply it will still cost the same once the majority of healthcare is funded privately rather than via taxes. This is always completely ignorant that private healthcare costs so little in the UK compared to the US because its subsidized by the NHS, the NHS provides much of the more expensive services still, and private has to compete against the NHS on cost as best it can.
Once we have a free market for private healthcare costs to the end user will rapidly balloon.
Apparently it’s a bit of a running joke on maternity wards. People pay for private treatment. However, as soon as there is a serious issue, they are rushed to the same NHS doctors as everyone else. Basically all you pay extra for is a nicer room, and nurses playing maid (or maids playing nurse, depending).
