Carol C: I would like to address your post but I really don't know much about private operated insurers in Great Britain. I'll do some research on it. Honestly, I cannot imagine why, those who can have the service for "free' would go with a private company there. Based on most of the posts from those who are covered by their single payer provider, they have the perfect system and no private company should be able to compete.

I'll address the question in the Health Care thread though.
