There is no doubt that the number of Indian people getting insured every year is increasing, but still only 15% of Indian population enjoys the health insurance coverage. To put it more simply, the last year statistics show that out of total healthcare expenditure of $40 billion in the country, only $2 billion is financed by health insurance. This shows that a major percent of Indian population is not able to get their healthcare expenses financed, when there is an option available.
If the same continued, how will people avail quality medical treatment, when the medical cost is expected to go tremendously high over next few years? This will not only create difficulties for the Indian citizens, but also for the medical experts, who are working hard in finding cure for various diseases. The effort of these brains would be in vain, when there will no one to avail the treatment, brought by them with the help of new and advanced technologies. The reason is simple that that the use of new technology makes medical treatment expensive.
Hence, looking into the gravity of situation, there is an immense need to educate people about the increasing medical cost and its solution. The only solution lies with health insurance providers. Health insurance plans brought by them can be called a key to this lock that prevents people from availing medical treatment. Thus, these plans become a need or so called a necessity.
