IIT Alumnus Blames Medical Bills for India's Poverty Crisis

Imagine many people in India struggling to pay for medical care.

Every year, millions of people fall into deep poverty because of hospital bills.

Public hospitals don't have enough money or doctors, so people go to private hospitals.

These private hospitals are making a lot of money.

The problem is that some doctors and hospitals might encourage unnecessary tests and treatments to make more money.

For those who are poor, it's a tough choice: either sell what they own or borrow money at high interest rates.

The solution suggested is for the government to invest more money in healthcare and keep a closer eye on private hospitals.
