ModicaRE, IMITATION OF Goacare or Obamacare Medical scheme This type of scheme is existing in Goa paying Rs 200 for family of two and Rs 300= for a family of three and more. Our CM needs to be congratulated for inspiring, motivating it to adopt modified scheme by the Centre
Our Netas do not use the services of the best Medical hospitals in India but rush abroad for free treatment at Govt costs The enplaned private Hospitals make a killing by claiming the said prescribed fees, but charge over and above this limit, which is footed by the patient. The patient tolerates the pinch silently, since it is subsidized partly. The renowned Hospitals do not undertake to participate in this scheme, because the payments/ reimbursement is pittance that is delayed and its not remunerative for the Hospital. Instead the Govt would do well to strengthen the Health care system, by improving the Hospitals, Primary health centre with qualified doctors and making available needed medicines at local level.

The process of selection and approving Insurance companies is not without question ,as is the case with all Govt tender process The process of availing these facilities is bothersome, knotted with administrative formalities for many a illiterate population for whom it is primarily designed. There is no check on total costs incurred by the patient at these empowered Hospitals, whether to what extent the vulnerable patients are fleeced Instead of waiting and promising to treat the highly impoverished, malnourished population, first priority should be clean drinking water , balanced diet , clean living environment and well planned , dependable primary health care system and education that would empower population to fight diseases This is yet another high decibel gimmick after demonetization, GST. Why the contributions of States is assumed without there consent or is it because of expected support BJP ruled states ? It is stated about 2000 crores are set aside without any planning of the premium amount, the source of funding of this tom tomed as the biggest health care system in the world, which appears to be the biggest HOAX in this election year to hood wink the voters Nelson Lopes Chinchinim p cl
