Dont compare with WEST
by Shiva on Nov 25, 2007 06:44 PM

Gentlemen. When it comes to healthcare don't compare us with the west or any other country where there is no family values.

We take care of our disabled/sick/mental brother, father, sister, mother, wife, children, or even our uncles/aunts.

This does not happen in the west. There they take care of self and not the family. So the burden of taking care of the sick is with the state. Here the burden is carried on the shoulders of the COMMON MAN.

Don't look at things from state perspective. The government/state does not help the common man and it is foolish to look upon an impotent government/state to help us. We help ourselves with the resources we have.

Numbers are always questionable. Statistics are engineered like the HIV/AIDS statistic in India. From 5.8Million estimate it has come down to 2.5 Million. Why the number is so high, because there is a state incentive to report higher number. More $$$ for filthy NGOS who in the name of service suck the blood of common man.

Regards,

Shiva
