The social security schemes being implemented by the Govt. of India has very vital role in improving the life of the poorest of the poor in India.
Recently, the Prime Minister of India, Sri Narendra Modi had announced that half billion poor people in India will get benefit from the health insurance scheme which the govt. of India is implementing. Hundred million families are going to be involved in this scheme. The complete premium will be paid by the govt. People will get reimbursement for hospital bills upto Rs. 500000. This scheme will have a very great impact for the poorest sections of the society who are paying money for hospital bills from the meager sums of daily wager they earn.
The importance of this scheme is even more important, considering the very heavy hospital bills charged by private hospitals. They are able to compete with the govt. hospitals very easily, because most of the govt. hospitals which exist today are not even able to provide OP to the large number of patients visiting every day.
People have only 2 choices. Either save money by going to a govt. hospital and avail medical facility, if available, after suffering in long queues or go to private hospital and pay large bills.
Now the govt is putting forth the chance to avail the best available facilities and get the medical bills paid by the Govt. of India !!! That too free of cost.... 100 million families will get this benefit....
