A Prime Ministerial Scheme To Stop Poverty Due to Health Crises Is Helping Poorest Indians The Least

Launched in 2018, the Prime Minister’s health insurance programme was meant to prevent ‘catastrophic’ health expenditure that pushed 60 million Indians into poverty each year. In September 2022, the government claimed it had ‘saved crores of families’ from such expenditure, but there are no data to support this claim, and studies indicate India’s most marginalised people are not benefitting, while insurance companies are.
