Healthcare for all is a welcome step.
Health and education are two most basic needs of every human being as are food and shelter. It is necessary for state to take care of all citizens.
But there is a big risk too.
The way it is proposed, there is huge risk of corruption affecting this and costing nation. It can prove a major trap.
- Benefits may not reach real needy
- Scheme can be misused by big hospitals, insurance firms and middleman
- Misuse can lead to higher premium which can prove too costly for nation
Biggest drawback is nation is not building anything which can be used over and over again.
Idea is noble but nation must be cautious that it should not prove a burden, liability too big to handle.
Here it must be noted that poor people need timely and quality healthcare support but that is not necessary in luxurious big hospitals. Quality healthcare can be provided very cheap in simple hospitals which may not be luxurious but provide good treatment.
Money going in premium can instead be used in building secondary and tertiary level hospitals. One must remember that instead of making few huge hospitals which become too crowded, there should be more number of hospitals, smaller but easy to reach and more useful.
Scheme of Wellness Center is good. Such centers must have OT as well so that most of the cases can be handled there itself.
Treatment must be divided into two categories in these hospitals.
- Free for BPL people
- Nominal charges from lower income group people
A lot of emphasis must be there on prevention of sickness and cheap alternative treatment. Healthy diet, clean water, low pollution, regular exercise, yoga, ayurveda, homeopathy, naturopathy can help in a big way in both prevention and early treatment of sickness. This can reduce burden on conventional treatment.
Let there be healthcare assets in nation that can help citizens year after year.
