US VS INDIA Insane Health Care Costs - Indian and British Doctors React to US Medical Bills REACTION

[@STARK50]

India also has free national ambulance service. Not to mention, the government provides various medical schemes for poor and underprivileged people. Also India has world class government hospitals and medicals colleges like AIIMS(All India Institute of Medical Science)where you can get treatment at a surprisingly minimum cost. India is also one of the favourite destination for medical tourism. I saw people from Africa, Middle-East and USA getting their treatment done in India.

The reason imaging and labs cost that much in USA is because they always HAVE TO HAVE the latest machine, and these machines COST A LOT. In India they would make do with things years old and keep servicing them (as they should), as the performance increases are not that significant. I guess the US hospitals fear lawsuits for negligence in case they miss something due to older equipment. As for the drug costs, India is the cheapest and USA is the most expensive (to my knowledge), so no surprises. The only nice thing to see with regard to US bills is that the docs are not that mercenary compared to the other services. Kind gives you faith in humanity.

I have seen many people coming from small villages to get treated for free in AIIMS. And there are many small government hospitals everywhere where u can just go see a doctor and u will get free medicines for cold headache ,cough ,first aid stitches and free condoms too

[@mr.z8188]

Ive a question? What happens if you don't got the money and couldn't pay after treatment. What action they take?

[@ReldrikGeo]

I think your debt gets sold to creditors and debt collectors and they harass you with constant emails and phone calls and letters until you pay. You also lose all value to your credit score so you could never get a loan or rent or but anything via the bank ever again lol

[@mr.z8188]

@@ReldrikGeo Interesting. May I know about the how debt collectors work there like who're they and what are their harrasment methods. Coz here in India debt collection is one of the darkest sector. Most of the debt collectors are uneducated goons and ruthless people, the banks recruit people like them. If we don't pay back debt at first these people call and harrass in bad words, then come to our house directly and insult us infront of our neighbours sometimes they come and sit outside our house and never leave entire day. And mobile app loan is even worst here. These apps get permission for access of mobile contact and gallery information. There're cases where they took photos of the unpaying customers and morphed their photos into nude and shared it to all the contact members through WhatsApp and disclosed they're not repaying the loan properly to all the contact members. Lot of people have committed suicide because of that.

Actually I have worked in medical billing and the reason why hospitals charging more is because for 10000$ bill hospital or doctor just receives 500-600$ from insurance companies that too isn't guaranteed...so I can understand how much it's difficult for a guy without insurance... actually it's a bizarre system 😂

India runs a pan-India healthcare scheme for the poor households. Under that scheme, every person is entitled to free healthcare upto Rs. 5 lakh, which translates to just over 6000 USD in absolute terms and roughly 20000 USD in PPP terms. Given that India produces generic medicines instead of expensive branded ones, an average person basically gets his treatment for free.

This comparision is that india is getting fast to make life of Indian citizen worst. In reality so called developed countries are far underdeveloped insted they have destroyed human thinking with money. Developed country means how worst you have made a country to survive for citizen. India is making it at fast rate let us take example of petrol here half price is charged as tax by govt itself, what a shame govt itself exploiting people.
