I mean its quite natural for us as citizens of decmocratic India. Let me ask you a simple and honest question; when u pay heavy taxes laid on you by the government what kind of medical health care do you expect? Still have you spent a day without hearing a Government doctor's negligence or grave mistake??
I mean ok some people will not relate to it at all. "What can happen to us? We have health insurance and access to good private hospitals and responsible doctors." Come on i dont blame you for that; I even am not supposed to; its democracy right!
Well have you thought for one day what happens to the poor people who do not have access to private Medical/Health care and have to rely on Government run hospitals?
And a majority of Indian population is under poverty line; they usually suffer at the hands of these Government licensed killers at the government hospital!
Fine I pacified myself that ok we are a developing counrty and we'll progress and some day medical health care will improve.
Then something tore open the sheets of this pacivity!! It literally brought down my notion of high regards for the medical health services in US of A(Big brother to the world, saviour of the world who checks the nuclear armament of the world blah blah.....).
Yes if you also want the real deal watch the movie "Sicko" by Michael Moore.
I mean I can confidently say that the Health Insurance and Medical system in USA run the same racket as the Indian medical doctors. I mean hello big brother USA! wake up, first show the care for you own sick and old people then you can nanny the rest of the world!Later on in the movie its was so good of Michael Moore to even show parts of the world where the Government still cares for its Citizens.
There are some facts that really surprised me, pleasantly about the British and French and Cuban system of medical health care.
I mean these are three different countries with different political and national orientation. The Brits are highly democratic, French highly nationalist and Cuba is well Communist; yet they all follow a commom methodology for Health care:- Socialist
Well for common people like you and me Socialistic Health care means FREE AND QUALITY HEALTH CARE!Yes you read it right! Hell even the medicines are subcidised in all three countries shown in the documentary. You have to see the film to believe it!
Now compare this to the semi socialistic behaviour of our NAM oriented government. Well the biggest flaw lies in the fact that we are not aligned with neither of the world super powers ie Capitalists or Communists. Frankly no where! But our politicians tried to sail on both boats and introduced the state run medical services along with private practice and in the end we dont have anything! A totally FAILED system.
I was particularly impressed by a Brit gent who stated :-"Unless the poorest of the poorest citizen of a Country has the means to good health the country will not be able to attain the full potential of its citizens".
Well that really grabbed my attention.
Now this is the real deal. The truth is out there! Now how do we as citizens of Democratic Republic of India get access to our entitled and rightful medical health quality care service.......? Thats a question for us to find answers to. So think and its time to act
