      <title>Web Doctor Continues to Attract High Volumes of People Seeking Private Health Insurance</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Webdoctor.org.uk, the Health Insurance Comparison site, continue to attract increasing amounts of traffic partly due to doubts as to the NHS's budgetary ability to provide comprehensive healthcare for all.</p><p>London, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 11/15/2011 --  Web Doctor, one of the UK&apos;s leading online Health Insurance Comparison facilities reports record amounts of traffic to the site in response to perceived capacity limitations within the NHS.<br />
<br />
Richard Brewster, Managing Director of Web Doctor says, &apos;We are continuing to see a high volume of enquiries regarding health insurance which is not surprising as many NHS Trusts according to a report from the Co-operation and Competition Panel are imposing a minimum 15 week wait for patients to receive treatment which is close to the 18 week limit. This action is purely down to Trust&apos;s trying to save money&apos;.<br />
<br />
The NHS, like many publicly funded entities has been instructed by the Government to make substantial savings in response to the ongoing financial crisis in the UK and across the world and this can lead to, at least in some parts of the UK, limited access to certain NHS funded care and treatment.<br />
<br />
Richard Brewster goes onto say, &apos;The government has told the NHS that it must save £20 billion by 2015. The delays in providing treatment of surgical is a form of rationing forced on hospitals by their reduced funding set against an ever increasing workload of acute care as the population ages. Those concerned are turning to private health insurance as a necessity rather than a luxury as there appears to be no answer to the NHS black hole other than impacting on patient care and the inevitable increase in waiting lists.&apos;<br />
<br />
Another reason why many people are considering private health insurance is the well documented &apos;Post Code Lottery&apos; when it comes to NHS care.<br />
<br />
The &apos;Post Code Lottery&apos; when associated with the NHS refers to the differing levels of care/treatment received depending on which area of the country the patient resides in.<br />
<br />
Richard Brewster finishes with, &apos;Insurers are now making Health Insurance more accessible to a wider range of people by developing innovative products that have become available in order to try and meet the differing needs and budgets of those who would like to have access to this vital service&apos;.<br />

      <title>Health Insurance Comparison Site Web Doctor Reports Increased Site Traffic</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Web Doctor, the online Health Insurance Comparison website reports a significant increase in visitors to the site.</p><p>London, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 10/19/2011 --  In response to the ongoing crisis within the NHS, Web Doctor record high amounts of traffic to their site as people look for alternatives to state funded healthcare.<br />
<br />
Managing Director and Founder of Web Doctor Richard Brewster says, &apos;We are continuing to see a high volume of enquiries regarding health insurance which is not surprising as many NHS Trusts according to a report from the Co-operation and Competition Panel are imposing a minimum 15 week wait for patients to receive treatment which is close to the 18 week limit. This action is purely down to Trust&apos;s trying to save money&apos;.<br />
<br />
Widespread reports about the NHS&apos;s capacity to provide universal healthcare for all have recently come under intense scrutiny with treatment waiting lists getting longer and funding from central government diminishing. In some areas a &apos;post code lottery&apos; has been reported, this means the treatment received can differ or even be unavailable as a result of which locality the patient lives in.&apos;<br />
<br />
Richard Brewster goes onto say, &apos;The government has told the NHS that it must save £20 billion by 2015. The delays in providing surgical treatment is a form of rationing forced on hospitals by their reduced funding set against an ever increasing workload of acute care as the population ages. Those concerned are turning to private health insurance as a necessity rather than a luxury as there appears to be no answer to the NHS black hole other than impacting on patient care and the inevitable increase in waiting lists. Our Health Insurance Comparison site is designed to help people select the right policy for their or their families specific needs as opposed to picking a policy or provider recommended by a company with a commercial interest.&apos;<br />
<br />
Richard Brewster finishes with, &apos;Quite simply it is not possible for the NHS to provide more care and treatment for less money. As a consequence Insurers are offering incentives for new insured risks as well as attractive switch terms for existing insured policies so now is certainly a good time to look to join the growing population taking out health insurance&apos;.<br />

      <title>Web Doctor Launch Health Insurance Comparison Site in Response to NHS Crisis</title>
      <link>http://www.releasewire.com/press-releases/release-3.htm</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<div class="newsleft"><div class="newsbody"><p class="subheadline">Web Doctor launches a Health Insurance Comparison Website in response to public concern about the treatment capacity of the NHS and the postcode lottery for receiving treatment and drugs.</p><p>London, England -- (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sbwire.com/">SBWIRE</a>) -- 10/18/2011 --  Web Doctor give the public an online platform to compare various health insurance policies amidst doubts about the ability of the NHS to provide comprehensive care for all.<br />
<br />
Richard Brewster, Managing Director and Founder of Web Doctor says, &apos;We have introduced this new website to give the public the opportunity to find out how much private health insurance will cost by being put in touch with industry experts. Health insurance companies tend to confuse the public with mountains of brochures, quotations and policy wordings all offering variations of cover. The public value a clear, concise and free service to break through the jargon and ensure they fully understand their options whether they are taking cover out for the first time or looking for alternatives at renewal&apos;.<br />
<br />
Health Insurance has recently become a real option for the UK public due to the continuing crisis in the NHS and the well-publicised &apos;Postcode Lottery&apos; for healthcare that can result in people who live in different postcode areas being denied sometimes-essential drugs and treatment solely because they reside outside a particular catchment area. Due to the rise of the Internet many people can now use a Health Insurance Comparison Site in order to find the most suitable policy.<br />
<br />
Richard Brewster goes onto say, &apos;We all know the NHS is in crisis with funding being reigned in and cutbacks inevitable. This will have the impact of the "postcode lottery" only getting worse and the public are concerned that their postal address will impact on whether they can get vital treatments at a time of need. For those who can afford to pay an additional amount Health insurance is now seen as a necessity rather than a luxury and we are seeing hundreds of enquiries for a full spectrum of age groups and backgrounds&apos;.<br />
<br />
The sheer scope of the Health Insurance policies available has led to many people actively seeking providers in order to safeguard themselves and their families from NHS limitations in regard to essential healthcare.<br />
<br />
Richard Brewster concludes by saying, &apos;Insurers are now making Health Insurance more accessible to a wider range of people by developing innovative products that have become available in order to try and meet the differing needs and budgets of those who would like to have access to this vital service&apos;.<br />
