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.

Subsidies at the BOP? How about changing the business model?

Iddo — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 02:35:28 -0500

The premise that community-based health insurance (CBHI) schemes cannot be sustainable without subsidies usually entails looking at communities merely as agents of commercial insurance companies. As such, transcation costs (both for distribution and claims monitoring) are indeed high, and the commisions paid to agents along with the cost of devising schemes at HQ can make schemes unviable without subsidies. So, why not look at alternative business models for micro health insurance? If communities are empowered to own the insurace process, and participate in all its phases including benefit package design, claims monitoring etc. costs can be drastically reduced and with the ownership in the villages, a major part of the moral hazard will be addresses as well. Time for a change?

Micro finance should be supported by the government

Neil — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 19:45:27 -0500

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.

Culture Aspect

Hi there, Yes insurance can give a big help on rural and suburban people. We all hope that they are knowledgable on its importance as most of them they need to be educated about this. Foreseeing a 2020 year, we should be more agressive in different aspects of life (e.g. career, social life and financial stability) as we dont know what will be our future holds. But the most important is how we protect our selves and we can start by having our selves insured. As I per my advice, we need to explain and educate this areas that you want to target so that they would know the importance of not having too much loan. ( I know its hard to change there culture) but we are looking for a good future. Having a simple life without thinking of many debts will help us release stress. A worry free and healthy life for the coming year.

There are a lot of people

Abigail — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 11:08:25 -0500

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

I am not sure where to find the OS report. I would suspect that contacting the insurance company directly would be the best bet. Best of luck. Ethan.
