only 1% Indians have health insurance

Today The Times of India has carried the study of National Insurance Academy ,according to which 1.08 % of India population is covered under Health Insurance.

Tha main finding is;"Very few insurance firms are having their branches in semi urban and rural area.Majority of the semi urban and rural population remains neglected."

We are plaesed to know that NIA has reinforced the viewpoint of S K Sethi.It will be worthwhile to consider setting up of the health insurance companies at state level with equity being fixed at Rs 10 crores level.This co will focus on rural and semi urban area in an extensive manner.

Incidentally will some one conduct a survey in any PSU say United and find out how many proposals are refused straight away at branch level.Is it that branch team is focussing on profitability of the branch while head office goes on releasing ads by spending money.
