I suppose I'm annoyed at the fact that I've had PHI for 35 years, and only had to use it twice, both times more than 32 years ago.
Now, when I actually need a procedure, I'm caught because I downgraded the PHI last year and that effectively negated my chance of hospital inpatient treatment on any kind of semi-private basis in the current climate of shortages in the public health sector.
I'm beginning to wonder whether having PHI in this country at this time, and for the foreseeable future, is pointless unless one can afford the top level of insurance which provides access to private and high-tech hospitals.
