Health Insurance in UK
In UK, the Great Britain National Health Service )GNHS), a public healthcare system offers service coverage to any resident of UK.
In the coverage, there are no premiums obtained from the residents. Also, costs are not compensated at the level of the patient. And, the costs are not charged initially from a pool.
Though with the kind of offers they give, they still have achieved the primary purpose of insurance, which is to disseminate financial risk which is brought about from diseases and ill-health.
Private health care has been in existence still, in relation to the NHS, which is compensated largely by private insurance, which by the way is used by around 10% of the population.
