No MP or their family may have private health insurance.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

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.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

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