Hi there:

I hope i dont offend anyone here but why are you bothering with Private Health Cover anyway? Im an acute nurse and ill just let you know that the nursing care can be rushed in PRIVATE hopsitals than the public system.There arent enough nurses in the private sector which means the pt/nurse ratios are pathetically high. Plus just quietly if you do deliver a baby in a smaller private place and your baby is prem and sick they transfer you and bub if necessary to the nearest public hospital .... plus your out of pocket with anesthist plus drugs you might need (my private ob told me that so im (and wouldve anyway) delivering my bub in a public hospital.
Im talking of Victoria and i havent worked interstate so i cant say anything re their private hospitals.
