#012 Better to stop this waste of millions

India is a poor country.

In that poor country Andhra Pradesh is one poor State.

It has a flourishing IT software industry at Hyderabad. But it does not mean that people are rich.

Andhra Pradesh State Government in collusion with Private Hospital owners started a sort of Health Insurance Scheme (health care) called ″ArOgya ShrI″. In the name of providing super-speciality modern medical care, private hospitals have already started swindling public money, by submitting fictitious bills, grossly overcharging bills.

The Homoeopathy Hospital lobby, how can they lag behind? Can't?

Many Andhra Pradesh Government Officials too have a foolish fad for homoeopathy, simply because they do not care to verify whether homoeopathic medicines contain real medical substances. Owing to excess dilution in the name of potencies, the contents of bottles and packets do not actually contain the substances which the labels profess.

Cost of production of homoeopathic medicines must be very low as only alcohol or milk sugar are used as base, for dropping/mixing dilutions with them. Then, why super-speciality high-cost treatment becomes necessary?

Homoeopathy claims that it is poorman`s medical system. Does it need Government reimbursements?

The Andhra Pradesh State Government is already on the brink of becoming bankrupt, owing to excess borrowings and large budget deficit.

Better, they review their decision.
