We knew it will not happen on Sep 17,2010

In the International Health Insurance Summit ( organised by CII)held on Sep. 9 & 10,2010 in one of the panel discussion attended by high ups of Health care providers /Insurance companies ( mainly PSU) it was agreed that agreement to resolve the PPN issue will be reached by Sep. 17,2010 .This is necessary so that inconvenience is not caused to policy holders ,who are suffering since July1,2010.

We knew this agreement will not be reached because gap in expectation by both parties is too much.Healthcare providers are ready to give a discount of 5 to 7% but this is not at all acceptable to PSU insurance companies.This issue has complication that if the Good/super specilaity hospitals agree to the need of PSU's they may have to give same terms to Private Insurance Companies.That will affect the financial projections of health care providers who have got funding from investors,banks,PE funds and VC funds.This may also bring down price of the share in the stock market and hence the wealth of the promoters.
