Most people go to their NHS family doctor if they are not well. But what about MPs (and members of the House of Lords)? Can they get cheap or free PRIVATE health care, or do they have to pay the same fees as the rest of us if they want to get quicker or better health treatment by not using an NHS doctor or NHS hospital?

Tory MPs wouldn’t dream of using the NHS as their sole intention is to destroy it brick by brick. So they pay for private health care and good luck to them. The prospect of being in a hospital bed next to some Tory idiot would finish me off, for sure.
Labour and liberal MPs know that the NHS is the best thing that ever happened to this country so of course they use it when they need to. Why pay for something when there’s no need?

They’d pay the same premiums as anyone else, they have chosen to become MP’s and while it has perks such as pension etc, they pay the same bills as others. Can you really see the true Red lefties taking up private healthcare, I think not, thats against their principles
