Mines about 600 a year with BUPA. That covers me, wife and 2 kids.

2k LOL

ah

seems i totally overshot it.

600/year for 2 adults and 2 children... bargain imo

used it a couple of times for hernia ops and well worth the money.

It's on the news now about the lack of hygiene in hospitals and as I'd rather not come out worse than I go in, I think private is the only way to go as far as I can see. Pity you can't get a decent quality of service across the board though.

600 a year dont seem too bad, did they want this all at once or do they except monthly payments?

I had it when I worked down the mines, it cost around 500-600 per year, when your in though the extras can add up like hell.

Been with bupa for some years, but the premiums keep on going up and up (medical inflation/age increase etc etc). In the end it was around 34% increase per year (around 600 per annum)

If you still want pmi then shop around. There are alternatives (have a look at www.moneysupermarket.co.uk). Using another provider I am currently paying just under 250 a year

Thing is you already pay for the NHS so to be forced to pay for another set of healthcare is a farse to be honest.
