48% do not have health insurance coverage 40% are somewhat
satisfied about the cost
From the survey observations above it is seenthat the Geriatric
group though they feel costis a concern still go ahead in search of
qualitytreatment and the best hospital
Majority of the participant populationpreferred going to the
hospital nearer to therural area in which they live and in most
cases
it remains to be the same hospital

Geriatric group should be given someconcession
Yes Medical expenses are very high but lifeand health is more
important so we dontmind to even borrow money for treatment
Just because we have an Insurance orreimbursement these medical
expensescannot be called reasonable
