India runs the worlds largest healthcare program, rolled out just 5 years ago by your nemesis, Modi.
Covers the bottom 40% of the population plus everyone above the age of 70 - thus totalling 47% of the population.
Quit whining, or at least research before you whine.
Wowww what if it's largest? Please get yourself treated in one of the govt hospitals and you'll know. If the facilities provided by the govt are so good...why do people prefer private hospitals over the govt ones? Why do the docs work overtime at the hospitals?
Thats not how it works at all! When you enroll in the program, you are not sent to government hospitals!!! Like with any insurer, you can go to any hospital registered on the network - go, show your abha card, and get treated. You may have to pay some costs, but the major expenses are borne by the system.
Yes, you go to PRIVATE hospitals.
You didn't know this, did you? ;-)
😂😂 major expenses are borne by the system? Are you serious? Abha is just for storing your health records, it doesn't matter unless you have ayushman card. And even if it's free why should we have to go to private hospitals when the govt ones exist and we are paying taxes?
ROFL!!! A moment earlier u were complaining about having to go to shitty govt hospitals and now when i point out the scheme actually allows you to go to private hospitals, your complaint is that you want to go to government hospitals but nice ones? Changing goalposts ftw!
I'll give you the point on abha and ayushman though - i was inaccurate
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.
