Thats too much trouble.
In India, there is a new scheme of "ayushman bharat"
500K inr which is quite a lot of money, per family.
No co-pay, you show the card in supported hospitals or government hospitals and you are in.
There are "problems" but overall it has had a net benefit with poor people who could not afford medical treatment just get it.
If you are having an emergency, they just do whatever is needed and you are golden.
I know hundreds of people in my neighbourhood who have had surgeries done on "card" and most could not otherwise afford it.
- tmp10423288442 1mo agoWhat I've read about government hospitals in India is that they're extremely overcrowded, with people crowding the hallways and waiting rooms to be seen while bleeding out or dying from illness, without even air conditioning in a lot of places. On the other hand, this was reported by a young Indian doctor that wanted to get to the UK ASAP, so not sure how representative his accounts are.
