Re: [IAC#RG] Fleecing Hospitals and doctors

Today there is lot of hue & cry regarding doctors minting money. The actual problem is that the medical treatment has become costly not because of doctors but because of the govt. Policies.

Why there is no proper drug pricing. Today a doctor earns less then a chemist on his prescription & that too without any strings attached  like reaction , no response , responsibility etc. odd hour consultation ,free consultation &charity. But nothing about lawyers, cA architects politicians .

The point raised has some validity but the solutions would be:

Insist on numbered receipt for all payments.

Pay by credit card/debit card.

Most hospitals do not accept cheques because of numerous instances of cheques bouncing.

It is sad  that many private hospitals , clinics and doctors have become the den of corruption.  Clinics & doctors  insist on cash payment of fees and do not give receipts. They have no norms in charging fees and have become an exploitative class. Almost all of them accumulate huge black money and evade taxes.

Obviously, central government and income tax department know that  almost all doctors do not pay taxes properly but governments do not care to question them. Hospitals , clinics and doctors very rarely receive tax violation notice and they are rarely raided by income tax department.

 The poor people are the worst sufferers. With most government hospitals having  poor standards and many government doctors are indifferent and private hospitals and doctors fleecing the patients, people from lower income group face desperate conditions when  they fall ill.

Government has the responsibility to discipline the hospitals and doctors and insist on norms for demanding fees. Hospitals, clinics and doctors should be directed to accept fees beyond Rs. 1000  only by cheque and they should give receipt for any fees received above Rs. 50

Time has come for people to protest effectively against the fleecing hospitals. Clinics and doctors.
