Bodenheimer and Grumbach write, “Unlike Canada, the United Kingdom allows private insurance companies to sell health insurance for services also covered by the National Health Service (NHS). (The NHS is the UK’s public health insurance program funded by tax dollars that provides health insurance to everyone.) Eleven percent of the population in 2015 purchased private insurance or had private insurance provided as an employment benefit. Private insurance may be used to pay for care at private hospitals and allows patients to “hop over” the queues that exist for some NHS services and receive expedited treatment at private facilities. People with private insurance are also paying taxes to support the NHS (Thorlby & Arora, 2017).” Which of the following statements best captures what Nielsen might say about this state of affair? Question 9 options: If someone can afford private health insurance, they should be able to buy it. One should try to get more and better health care for oneself than the general (poorer) population. The UK should not allow people to purchase health insurance privately because it creates a two tier health care system where some people get care faster because they are wealthy. People who buy private health insurance should not have to pay taxes to support the NHS because one should look out only for oneself.
