Young privately lose their principles

30 July 2007

Young privately lose their principlesAn increasing number of young people have no objection private health insurance, a new survey has revealed.

Bupa's national Health of the Nation survey found that the proportion of 18-24 year olds who do not believe in private healthcare has fallen by seven per cent since 2000 to 26 per cent.

The top reasons given for investing in private medical insurance were clean hospitals (65 per cent), no waiting lists (65 per cent) and faster access to specialists (58 per cent).

Saving for retirement?

Stephen Flanagan, commercial director of Bupa UK membership, said: "Attitudes to personal healthcare are changing with the younger generation seemingly taking the lead with regards to being more responsible for their health and wellbeing rather than leaving it to chance.

"Bupa is responding to this demand by increasing its presence in the positive health territory.

"We now offer a number of products and services that help encourage individual health and wellbeing. These initiatives sit perfectly alongside PMI and afford extra peace of mind for members."
