Hi Col,

I'm in top hospital cover and my first op for breast cancer(2003)was done in a private hosp. and I was out of pocket by about $1,000.The op last year was in a public hosp.(same surgeon)and only paid an extra few hundred dollars to my surgeon.I don't know where you are but Sydney has a lot of good surgeons who work in the public system.Keep shopping!
