Health Insurance Plan For Everyone

Health is wealth, it's a common truth. But can it be accurate for all of the people on earth? Most likely not true for everyone. It's rather a proverb for a few part of the world. In other word it's an unfulfilled dream of the two 3rd people of the world through their entire life. Why so? It's due to the total lack of commitment of the policy maker and planner of the 3rd world countries. About one 4th population or terrible families are almost deprived of proper health service. This means that they don't get enough treatment or attention by the heath company. It's simply because they are financially equipment.

Generally in most countries of developing 3rd world health insurance plan isn't at all available. But nonetheless, so far my knowledge goes; health insurance plan is really a simple right of all the citizens of some developed and civilized countries. All citizens of those countries get a health insurance card paying nominal annual fees. I might not be true with this statement. As an example in England I've seen people don't be worried about their illness when they're sick. They simply report personally for their signed up Doctor shortly called General practitioner.

The General practitioner provide the treatment or refer him immediately Hospital for more investigation for diagnosis and treatment. For medicine, regardless of the price might be a health insurance card owner just pays twenty cents for every prescription. However someone being affected by dental or eye problem will pay costs fixed through the health authority. I myself have enjoyed the advantage of health insurance card in England during the year 1978-1979. For this reason I still wonder, why we can't have such Health Insurance benefit for everyone. Is it because of the insufficiency of monetary percentage in Health sector or we've never thought than it. I'm sure the correct answer is better known for the policy maker & planner.

Everyone knows that system loss of the whole essential company is the common national condition in Bangladesh. This can be 95% due to the corruption, pilferage & system abuse. The whole corrupt methods are gently known as system loss. This word can be used by the advisor, contributor World Bank, Asian Development Bank etc. The cost allocation in Bangladesh health sector isn't so bad. Besides International assistance particularly for mother & child by UNICEF is also handy. But corruption and general attitude of Health Administrator, Official doesn't attribute for the benefits Health Insurance system.

The system loss can also be pertinent in the health sector too. The population of the state is around 1700 million. If 1500 million individuals spare about 10 dollar for national health Insurance plan per year, it'll be around 15000 million dollar. When this fund is invested & revolved in productive health sector, all citizen of this state could be supplied medical service under national health insurance plan. This might sound strange to many of us. However there's a universal word "nothing is impossible". We are able to give a serious thought of introducing health Insurance plan for all. On the other hand there may be another better proposition which could be reviewed for taking into consideration.
