The point of my post wasn't to denigrate private medical care - just to point out differences - both systems have their advantages and disadvantages.

There are heaps of horror stories about the public system (a lot of them unfortunate outcomes of nature that were inevitable, and just happened to occur on the grounds of a hospital) - if the press reported fairly, you wouldn't be able to find them among the good reports, the good reports don't make good news headlines...
