This petition was submitted during the 2017–2019 Conservative government

Rejected petition No MP or their family may have private health insurance.

At the moment there are many MP's who have private health insurance and therefore cannot understand how badly the NHS is functioning. If they and their families had to use it then they may decide to do something about it.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The decision to take out private health care insurance is one for individual MPs, not the UK Government or Parliament as a whole.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
