While the Ayushman Bharat scheme has broadened coverage for millions, there still exist gaps, in particular for outpatient and long-term healthcare. Making insurance for healthcare insurance free could assist in addressing these discrepancies, but success requires easily accessible facilities and licensed physicians in both rural and urban areas.

Making universal health insurance mandatory in India sounds like a big but meaningful step. It would reduce financial stress for families and ensure more people can access care when needed. At the same time, healthcare infrastructure needs to grow too insurance coverage works only if hospitals and clinics can deliver reliable services.
So, yes a mandatory system could help but it must go hand in hand with quality care and easy access.

Making healthcare affordable for everyone could really change lives and help families avoid financial ruin due to medical bills. But for a country as big and diverse as India, it would take a lot of careful planning, strong policies and major investment to make it work well for everyone.
It’s a huge challenge but one worth working toward.
This could make treatment affordable and prevent medical bankruptcies, but in a vast, diverse country like India, it will need massive funding and strict regulation.
Making universal health insurance compulsory in India could be a step toward ensuring that every citizen has access to quality healthcare without financial burden. While it would reduce out-of-pocket expenses and improve equity, challenges like affordability, infrastructure, and proper implementation must be addressed for it to truly benefit the population.
