Everytime I experience the Indian medical system, I feel how unorganised, inefficient and corrupt the whole ecosystem is.

But then everytime I see posts like these on the US medical system (and UK, Israel etc.), it gets me to think how awesome the Indian medical system is.

I dont know much about the US medical system, but I always wonder why just banning all medical insurance be a better system than what is there currently. For those who can't afford, just setup one govt. funded hospital in every district. What am I missing ?

The Indian medical system is extremely bad for the doctors and nurses practicing within, which is why India sees a massive brain drain of medical professionals.

Government funded hospitals are a hit or miss. I get better healthcare service in the rural hospital of my mom's hometown, than in the city where they're living. Of course, at least for the large part, the system does not rely much on insurance backends, but for expensive procedures, you better hope you have insurance.

That being said, unlike the US, every Indian government has still prioritized healthcare regulation on the cost side.
