Since private health insurance takes on customers based on their health, it is generally more affordable than public, especially if you sign up while young and healthy. Once signed up, your premium will not increase because you become older.
Most doctors reserve appointments for patients with private health insurance. This makes access to healthcare in your area easier, especially in big cities. In addition to that, you generally get better coverage than with public health insurance, for example, in terms of dental and vision care.
If you make no claims during a calendar year, you will receive a payout the following year. The payout increases every consecutive year without a claim.
