An interesting article which should help a further debate. The expert committee has given a green signal to reducing caital for helath insurers. Health insurance is going to be a bottomless pit. Doctors and specialist laboratories will make a bonanza and even the watchful eyes of Mr. PC cannot bring them to the tax net. Cheaper premiums will give only slimmer cover which is almost useless; wider coverage will mean most will be out of the net because of higher premium. And for this extravagant venture, government is being forced to reduce the capital requirements. It all looks funny to say the least.
hii i wonder if people when doing the study have considered the average net salary of a china man! and being in the communist sector and the pay being less the insurance paid for seems '' catastrophic'' as suggested. as in many research papers ,i feel that it is just a trick with numbers used'' cheaply'' to trick consumers to believing in a concept. i am a working doctor in a hospital in uk, department os psychiatry, and can appreciate the bias in writing this..myself ; but i would like to draw attention to the facts considered in the right way rather than make believe sake. thank you. santosh
in India is same thing is happening. Doctors are incresingly operting on patints and prescribing costly medicines even though the same is not required. Only hospitals and doctors are benifiting and nobody else.
