if you are a rich elite, Its easy to get gov. money, (socialism by an other name).
First, create a class of people that are too poor to get the service. (pay them starvation wages)
Second, Make more people poorer by raising taxes.
Third, Incentivize your buddy elites in gov. to create a gov. program for a service that only you offer, but for which those in need, (which you created), cannot afford to pay.
• India Introduces Free Health Care – For Its 500 Million Poorest People (NW)
Medical costs are the number one reason people plunge below the poverty line, and millions of families fall into debt to pay for care.
63 million people fall below the poverty line every year because of health-care costs, and over 70 percent of medical bills are paid out-of-pocket by patients.
The shortages in the public sector mean that around 70 percent of Indians turn to private health care when they are unwell, Bhushan said. But private hospitals can charge as much as 10 times more than their public counterparts for the same procedures.
Bhushan said that 8,000 hospitals have already signed up to the government’s plan and have agreed to accept set costs for procedures. The government is also hoping that investors will recognize the booming demand for health care and build more hospitals in response.
