Great article on Micro Health Insurance. I am also of the opinion that government should come forward and collaborate with private insurance industry to provide quality health care insurance to poor people of India. Many people like Nandakumar Rajeshirke need this help from Micro Health Insurance Company. I would like to congratulate you on raising such an importan issue.

Micro finance should be supported by the government

Micro finance should be supported by the government, so it can take off with a jummpstart. Wonder why the govt. never comes forward for such causes even though they know that this will help immesely. The only reason is that the policy makers are influenced by the multinational insurance companies (who by the way pay obscene license fees to the govt. to do business in a country) and therefore don't want to see these type of success stories eating at their potential customers.

There are a lot of people there that need to be taken care about and I do not think that a non profit company can afford to take care of all those people there. ---------- Buy flowers - Online Flower Shop

Nandakumar Rajeshirke was suspicious of health insurance when he first heard about the idea three years ago. He had trouble understanding why it made sense to gamble on an unforeseen illness or accident when there was no guarantee he would ever see any money in return.

Nandakumar Rajeshirke was suspicious of health insurance when he first heard about the idea three years ago. He had trouble understanding why it made sense to gamble on an unforeseen illness or accident when there was no guarantee he would ever see any money in return.

But his insurance provider, a network of nongovernmental organizations called UpLift India Association, had already earned his trust by supplying him with reliable microcredit to fund his stone carving business in the city of Pune. Mr. Rajeshirke decided to buy coverage for his whole family at 50 rupees ($1.10) per person annually and renewed the plan for several years in a row.
