When I lived in the UK, I had insurance through my employer.
I got a nose job that was somewhat medical, as it helped my breathing to a non-negligible degree, but not to an extent that the NHS would deal with it.
Like I said there are medically valid reasons for elective surgery.

When insurance isn’t dealing with life threatening conditions, it’s an amazing value add.
I also had the same thing for the same reasons, told to me by a doctor in Minnesota.
I'm pointing out that while you're talking about big change and leaving private insurance for elective surgery, I'm pointing out that if you do that, AND bring the hospitals and doctors under the govt umbrella, you get cheaper everything.
Ok, I'll try again.
Imagine the medical care segment (hospitals, drugs, supplies, doctors) are govt owned and paid. With no profit margin at the point of service, the wholesale cost for care is cheaper.
So even if there's private insurance for elective care, even that would be cheaper.
