I wasn't suggesting you should do that.  Here some companies (a few, large)pay 
for private health insurance for their employees, some (large, yes) can offer 
their employees discounts on private health insurance they (the employees) pay 
for, the rest don't do anything, their employees are covered by the NHS. Some 
of those employees, and some others, take out private insurance. Most people 
simply use the NHS.
