Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.TWO new health schemes have been set up that pay out for physiotherapy.
Nationwide Physiotherapy Service has teamed up with Bupa to launch a private medical insurance plan that delivers private hospital treatment if NHS waiting lists are longer than six weeks, and also pays for out-patient physiotherapy. There is also a scheme that pays cash if you have to stay in hospital or have other medical treatments including up to 30 physiotherapy out-patient sessions a year.
There is also a 24-hour stress counselling service available with both plans.
The cash plan costs between pounds 12 and pounds 25 a month for singles under 50, and the waiting list scheme would cost under pounds 20 a month for the under-45s.
The NPS schemes are available via Bupa.
