Total self serving rubbish.. why should you get a tax break for private health... why should I not jump the queue. are you special ? and l if its a six week wait evidently your GP doesn't think its urgent.

I pay for my private health care from my taxed salary, why shouldn't you...

Well done yourgov will be proud of you when its too late to operate on that 'non urgent' complaint you had at the docs who clearly was over worked and under qualified to make the correct judgement on it being benign, then you die and they tax your inheritance, with your attitude i would hazard a guess you're not hard working and support the magic money tree theory to thrive off us.
You're a fool if you believe paying tax on your private health care is is in any way justified, you're possibly missing the point im referring to BIK via a company.
If you're relieving the NHS of the unnecessary burden, therefore this 'BENEFIT' should be waivered, you're benefitting yourself to stay healthy and pay your taxes, and you're already contributing to the NHS through your taxes and NI. I guess you also support an unlimited immigration policy, again the magic tree tax payer can pay for all of that too.

Why? If your employer provides it then of course it's a benefit, unless you think getting to the front of the queue is a high taxpayers God given right. That's biker from the boatyard economics...

"Excessive" is subjective, I pay more than most as well but don't moan about it. Governments decide how tax is raised, and there isn't much difference between the main parties.

Because paying more than most can still be not much at all as is paying more than the avg man.

Again brainwashed thinking. Healthcare should not be classed as a benefit its absolutely absurd. If you are paying yourself to have private care you are benefiting the tax payer by alleviating the NHS of the expense of caring for you.
Don't feel inferior im not 'jumping the queue' im merely stating i do not accept the level of care NHS offers considering im paying for it, therefore i want to pay for my own service, that shouldn't be tax on top. I wouldn't need it if the NHS was adequate. Hell the NHS should be paying me for failing to meet an SLA of booking me into to a practice within a week. Zero accountability.

So many blinkered fools just accept 'how it is'. That decides the haves and havenots in this country.

Nonsense.

Private healthcare funds the industry. I wonder where all the smart doctors and surgeons would be if they couldn’t make a good living from private patients in the U.K.? Not in the U.K.

Nobody is jumping the queue. The surgeon is choosing to allocate his time to the sector based on the opportunity to earn fees.

If we all cancelled our policies and waited for the NHS the queue would be twice as long and there wouldn’t be any decent doctors to do the work.

Private healthcare existing long before the NHS and a lot of NHS work is outsourced to the private sector.
 
They are consultants they don’t belong to the NHS. They are not slaves.

They provide a service for a fee.

if you are poor: 3 years to wait for a hip replacement

if you are rich: pay the same surgeon and get your hip done next week

according to Festive its not a benefit to not suffer 3 years of pain

but if the surgeon wasnt doing the good paying ones for the rich and stayed at home with the wife and kids the poor people would be waiting a lot longer than 3 years

Fine, but paying for it yourself isn't classed as a benefit. Not against private healthcare, only discussing the workplace benefits side of things.
