I agree with not worrying about going "private" because you have the insurance...........many of us have private health insurance for so many other reasons.
I have it & chose to go public with DS & will again this time. For me it's simple, we live in small rural community & don't even have the option of getting an ob anyway. So there is no point spending the $$$$ to be a private patient. I will always get a room to myself & the care I need. Infact any time we go to the hosp we go a public, unless we need to see a specialits or do not want to be on a waiting list etc.
