Healthcare in US is a best example of how a Healthcare shouldn't be. The citizens of the country shouldn't be scared of going to hospital. Countries like India may have corruption, but their people, even the poorest, have the option to consult doctor free of cost or at the cost they can afford. The Healthcare in US is in the clutches of Insurance companies.

>> Countries like India may have corruption, but their people, even the poorest, have the option to consult doctor free of cost or at the cost they can afford. For something small, like Fever or Stomach Upset may be. For bigger problems its not easy, and most of the time they just give up(Embrace death). In Bangalore, there is a hospital called Bowring and Lady Curzon Hospital, its sort of like a government hospital. For decades its well known that when burn patients arrive, and if the victim is really poor, they silently recommend euthanasia. And most people opt for it. Its just the cost of treatment is too expensive, and the whole family goes down in the financial burden that follows. Also please take a look at government hospitals like NIMHANS in Bangalore, its like the most depressing place you will visit in your life. You have to pay bribes for simple things like IV drip. And most people are very ill and sleep on the footpaths and hospital compound. Most of the times let alone having money for treatment they don't even have money to go back home to their small towns and villages. Personally I had experience with one relative who got Guillane barre syndrome, their family comes from Kolar(A place 70 kms from Bangalore). He was a flower seller. He refused our help out of self esteem, but we had to bribe through ward boys, nurses and doctor secretly without him knowing to speed up things and get him everything from a bed to the right treatment.

  This is heartbreaking. How can we solve the problem of overpopulation? What happens to poor people in America under the same circumstances of poor in India when seeking healthcare?
