The government is aware that 99% of people rely on private hospitals for treatment, yet these hospitals often refuse to accept government policies, schemes, or cards. As a result, many government initiatives, like health schemes, are poorly implemented and ineffective. Despite claims of free healthcare, there's always a hidden cost, and it's like being looted indirectly. How many private hospitals actually accept government health cards or policies? Most won’t, as seen with the Ayushman Card. If you have money, you get treated; if not, you’re left to suffer.

PS: If the government system were efficient, healthcare policies and schemes would be accessible to everyone and accepted at both private and government hospitals. Shouldn't that be the case?
