When I started running a business over 40 years ago I bought into private medical cover for the directors and management. Charges seemed attractive, but in 5 years cost a significant amount and NO usage (after all we were all young.
When you are busy running a business and the invoices increase a little ewach year you barely notice.
Then the increases begin to be significant and, when you talk to the company they point out their risks increase as you get older. Not something you dwell on in the early days, even if it is obvious.
So, the premiums get significant just as you begin to need the service..... but it then becomes unaffordable!
Lesson learned.
If government would allow you to build up a tax free fund, to be used only on medical costs you could self fund at no cost to the HMRC.

What a scam.

#859 I think it kicks in at Dec 31st mate. The real kicker is the small print bit where all cars with a list price over £40k have to pay an extra charge that puts it up to £600.

It's the same with the health insurance. It gets to a point where you think you may as well carry the risk and we gave up on ours. Mrs J may have to have an op for which we've been given a guide quote of £10-15k. That would only be about 10 months' premiums so I reckon we're quids in, on the assumption these things don't come up every year.

Dom - do you become liable for Road Tax this year? And if so, how much are we talking.

I made a fortune on POS buying in at 1.7p and selling most of my holdings above 20p. I hold a few now but as you say unless we suddenly get a large contract we could head back towards 5p.
