Independent: Modicare: India launches world's biggest experiment in universal healthcare
Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India declared to launch so-called Modicare yesterday. In this new legislation. The government is prepared to pay the medical cost in place of poor citizens. As well, new health and wellness centers are opened for primary care.
Not surprisingly, this policy ignited serious dispute. Several physicians and relevant professionals are against the new legislation. According to them, Modicare will not be sustainable because of insufficient budget and social resource. Some people criticize that Modicare is no longer than an advertisement to impress Modi's performance who will face the next general election.
India is rapidly changing in many regions. Changing circumstances demand policy changing. Though it is unsure the new health care will be successful, at least it will be worth as a social experiment for the world. Nobody knows the true answer.
