It's relatively low cost, though. Tuition maxes at <£10k/y, usually financed with a reasonable repayment rate (5% earnings over ~£25k, I can't remember for sure), and the option to pay off early if you're willing.

Most employees in well-funded organisations in the UK will have private healthcare too. My plan costs me ~£14pm, which is actually tax rather than a premium, with no deductible/copay/excesses.

Your numbers are not quite correct, which changes the dynamic of the argument.

> Tuition maxes at <£10k/y

For the majority of courses offered at the BSc level they are more or less fixed accross the board. For example, it doesnt matter from the cost perspective if you do BSc CS at Kings uni in London, Manchester uni or Aston university, since the fee is exactly the same £9250. https://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/computer-s... https://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/202... https://www.aston.ac.uk/study/courses/computer-science-bsc/s...

Additionally, by saying "Tuition maxes at <£10k/y" you could imply to some that fees are in a certain range below 10k, where in fact they are generally speaking very close to £10k.

> Most employees in well-funded organisations in the UK will have private healthcare too

While this might create debate I think it's worth pointing out that there is a BIG difference between UK and US private healthcare.
