New figures published in a medical report for 2016 indicate that over 82 percent of urban middle-class Indians have no health insurance. That is in the face of the fact that the medical costs and fees for treatment have been on a steady rise in India over the past few years. That’s added to the burden of many people who have to sometimes sell their properties to pay their medical costs.
