- gruez 5y agoPossibly yes, depending on second order effects (eg. more expensive debt in the future, depressed economy,draining savings of people on fixed income)

- 2Gkashmiri 5y agocool. i don't know what to say. this is like too much to process. you are willing to let the most vulnerable, the poorest of the poor die because they can't afford healthcare because you are concerned it will cause a rise in interest rates in future, economy? no wonder i live in a third world country where you can get medical attention regardless of who you are. yeah, last year or so, a scheme was launched. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayushman_Bharat_Yojana https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayushman_Bharat_Yojana cover of ₹5 lakh (US$6,600) per family per year for a country where unskilled labourers earn "Rs. 500" or $10-12 a day, this level of cover is like magic. the 50 mil population, almost half the population is covered by this scheme alone, not to mention almost free government paid hospitals and dispensaries and other stuff. do you think for these many people, economy and debt and savings matter when their loved one is suffering and they don't have money to pay to a doctor?
