🏥💰 “When health Becomes a Business: How BJP’s Freebie politics Feeds corporate Hospitals and Bleeds Citizens”
health is a fundamental right under Article 21 of the indian Constitution. The government’s primary duty is to ensure free, quality healthcare. Instead, india is witnessing a dangerous shift—while rulers spend billions on flashy freebies and PR-driven schemes, corporate hospitals rake in profits like sharks, and citizens drown in medical bills. Here’s how:
1. Healthcare Is a Right, Not a Luxury
Every indian is entitled to basic healthcare. But in reality, access depends on your wallet size. For the poor, a hospital visit can mean financial ruin.
2. Billions Burnt on Freebies, But Not on Hospitals
From statues to event management and shallow yojanas, taxpayer money is wasted on optics. Meanwhile, government hospitals remain understaffed, underfunded, and overcrowded.
3. Corporate Hospitals Thrive on Misery
Private hospitals record revenues in thousands of crores, with doctors earning lakhs per month. Illness has become a business model where suffering translates into profit.
4. Global Contrast: Welfare vs. Exploitation
Developed nations invest in their people—free healthcare, free education, subsidized transport, and mid-day meals for kids. india, instead, throws band-aid “schemes” at voters while neglecting systemic reforms.
5. The Myth of Ayushman Bharat
Touted as a healthcare revolution, this insurance-driven model often benefits private hospitals more than patients. Poor families still pay out of pocket, while corporations pocket guaranteed payouts.
6. Doctors as Millionaires, Patients as Bankrupt
In india, medical treatment has become so expensive that families sell land, pawn jewellery, or take crippling loans just to survive. Healthcare is no longer about service—it’s about margins.
7. Public health System in Ruins
While primary health centres collapse, political focus remains on grand announcements and “freebie politics.” The actual investment in public hospitals and rural healthcare remains abysmally low.
⚡ Punchline:
In most of the world, governments protect citizens with free health, education, and transport. In india, citizens are left at the mercy of corporate hospitals, while rulers squander billions on gimmicks. When health becomes a business, democracy itself is sick.
