This is only a problem if preventative care is expensive to begin with... In India, a visit to the doctor for a general checkup can cost anywhere between Rs. 100-1000 out of pocket, with no insurance whatsoever. For reference, this is basically the price of a movie ticket. What if preventative care cost $15-30 a pop out of pocket?
