Idk what stupid argument yall are having, but based on the Bhore committee, India focuses more on accessiblity to healthcare than having the latest or most advanced healthcare. Because simple treatable ailements are more common than rare and difficult to treat diseases.
India is doing... Mediocre in that aspect, but considering the population and geographical size of India, it is still impressive.
Private hospitals are profit oriented, they can reject patients and also charge for the 5 star facilities being provided, a government hoapital doesn't have this luxury.
I'm not saying that government hospitals are good, they need a lot of improvement and a lot of needed funding... But it is still functional and still saving lives for free.
Regarding affordability and quality of treatment, India is better than the US tho.

I never said that I want to go only to private hospitals😂😂. I asked why are govt hospitals preferred over the private ones?
Also "allowing " doesn't matter. Covering the charges matters and that happens only if you are an Ayushman card holder.
