In india you have now 3 models of healthcare

1. Public healthcare is mostly free. You have to deal with long lines in opd but you get top care. You have free emergency and its good enough. If you have a procedure to do, you are charged minimum but there is a "medical insurance" that covers it. No payment but govt pays your premium. Cons: long lines unless your case is very emergency or you have contacts.

2. You have small nursing homes or private hospitals, 10-20-50 bedded ones specializing in certain specialities. Again, most procedures are paid by the public insurance but again, long lines for most part unless you pay them sticker price.

3. Big private hospitals. They are fully paid and you either pay out of pocket or your paid health insurance covers it.
