Maybe. It's complicated. Resources are shared so maybe not.

Most people don't have insurance so waiting a month or two vs spending
many thousands is usually preferable. If it's life threatening it's
usually quick otherwise you wait your turn.



I use to hear a lot of adds on your news for private insurance.

You can schedule appointments, operations etc better than you can with
the NHS, get your own room not a ward [strangley many people prefer
wards for the company] , cosmetic stuff is usually not covered under the
NHS and so on. There may be treatments you can't get on the NHS but our
doctors choose treatment on clinical need without the profit motive so
generally the treatment fits the patient need.
