YOu are still being very coy and avoiding answering my question
as to how much you are paying for the insurance you are getting
I'm not going to provide that information because it is personal
not in any way that anyone is personally interested so to speak

and in any case irrelevant.
It's absolutely relevant
No, because it varies according to the individual and what they
buy. Taxation varies based on income and hence NHS contribution.

well, my renewal was £1100 plus shrapnel
I can only surmise that you pay an embarrassing amount if you are so
reticent to say

I'm not in the least bit embarrassed by what I pay in health insurance
premiums, they are worth very penny and not as high as you are
imagining - for example not an order of magnitude larger than yours or
anything close to it.


Well, the bottom line that I was hoping to get to was that the
proportion of the NI stamp which goes to dentists is not beyond the
resources of most people

The amount that you pay for private health care at the level you say you
receive is well and truly beyond what most people could afford

but since you won't play the game ...
