As the country is progressing towards 2010, there is an increase in debates related to public health care option. The ruling party sees it as the only way to reduce the huge economic disparity in our healthcare system. A recent study, done by an independent media house, states that greater number of people are ready to support public health system that the last few months. People at all socio economic levels want to give health their first priority and are willing to give a monthly amount in favour of it.
The respondents to this survey, which was published in a leading national weekly, voiced strong concern about class-based disparities and urged government to intervene and resolve the issue on immediate basis.
On the flipside, over sixty five percent of the respondents believed the racially-based disparities (primarily between Hindu-Muslims and Christians) were a result of selfish interests of those few people who believe in breaking the country into pieces to live in peace. As a result, there are many communities, that can afford better healthcare for itself choose to remain in shambles and depend on local hakims to treat their children for any shortcoming in health.
This habit led people to sideline themselves from the benefits of the main economy and chose to protest when the country moved ahead. They have created racially-based disparities and are more resistant to government-based solutions and do not extend much support of policy proposals aiming to eliminate health and other disparities.
