The government is drawing up a health bill which will make it mandatory for doctors to give emergency treatment to patients on demand, even if the patient is unable to or refuses to pay,or face heavy fines. Any emergency treatment, however basic, will need medicines and may also need oxygen, bandages or splints which may cost a lot of money. Since 80% of Indians are poor doctors may find themselves facing bankruptcy. To survive doctors will stop keeping any medicines and will ask the patient's relatives to buy them from the nearest chemist wasting valuable time. Also doctors will shut their clinics outside working hours and patients will have to go long distances to get any help. Why would a government want to pass a piece of legislation which is so malicious. The Congress party which is in power today has ruled the country for 55 of the 61 years since independence. During that time they have kept the people poor, illiterate and without any basic health care. This enables the politicians to tax the middle class heavily in the name of the aam aadmi and dish out favors to their supporters reducing the people to beggars. Bills are written by lawyers who, along with politicians, are despised by the people. Inspite of all that is wrong, doctors still have some respect among the public and this infuriates the scum. Our journalists being freeloaders who is there to tell the truth? Death, after all, cures all illnesses and gives total relief and that is going to be the only medical care available in India.
