If you are suffering from any serious ailment and wish to survive, while remaining with money to lead a life of self-sufficiency - go to a tier2 city and get admitted to non-chained hospital. Else, they'll scoop out till last bone of yours.

So doctor - if your costs are going so high why are you guys designing hospitals like hotels and putting meteoric baby statues. When you ask about comparable quality of healthcare costs vs USA, do you have a record of your hospital acquired infections, do you even follow up on a patient for even a week? Do you have proper healthcare records of all your patients. What is your hospital mortality rate ? It must be 0% because you guys only accept simple cases to save your record and make money. Corporate hospitals have more non surgical staff than surgical teams. Why ?

Your doctors travel in swanky cars, fly business class , stay in 5 star hotels and organise doctor parties that burn crores of money of medical companies. Why ?

Lack of public health care is killing the middle class. The greed of the medical fraternity is harming the common man beyond imagination

Sameena, next time, if any doctor tells you what's wrong in having high medical costs. Ask them in the US for medical negligence doctors pay millions. How much Indian doctors pay for medical negligence?

Why can't the government reduce customs duty on these machines?

Healthcare in the US is much more advanced when compared to India.
