Feel free to expand in the comments section.

Edit: If you are British, please consider "Health Care" as including the National Health Service (NHS). Basically, what I meant by it was an umbrella definition for some kind of system (whether private or not) that offers you health care.

I have "top up" healthcare cover through the Benenden Healthcare Society (previously the Civil Service Sanatorium Society). Basically it can get me in to see NHS consultants quicker, will pay for private consultants if the the NHS is taking the piss, and they will either get you private operations or they have their own hospital that does stuff like orthopaedic surgery if your waiting list is too long. I've never had to use it, touch wood.

That sounds really good - I've been thinking of getting something similar (just in case). If you don't mind me asking, is it pricey?

You have to be public sector. I think it costs me about a tenner a month.
