I have had private medical insurance for years and it amazes me how the benefits have grown. I guess people are more health conscious these days, probably because of the fact that as a nation, our health is declining dramatically and quickly. It?s a paradox, really. We get unhealthier, and gym discounts are on offer everywhere.

I have had private medical insurance for quite a long time. I just like the peace of mind knowing that if something should happen to me or a family member, we would be seen to immediately. I?ve always been mocked by my family for worrying and over planning, but the way I see it, why take chances instead of precautions? I can?t handle the thought of an emergency occurring and inefficiency delaying the process of getting speedy diagnostics when you need them.

Private medical insurance is just a part of my life, and has become that way more so over the years. I think it?s because it provides so many benefits that apply to our every day lives. I?ve been with Aviva ? they used to be Norwich Union ? for years and have to say, the 24 hour GP and stress helpline as well as peace of mind is worth every penny.
