Ed Northstrum rightly opined - "It's No Coincidence That Four Of The Six Letters Of 'Health' Are 'HEAL'."
In my humble opinion, it's the individual's mannerisms involving the upkeep of the physical being - the Human Body - the one composed of Flesh & Bones...
It's the choice, one has to make, to maintain one's temple...
The temple wherein the soul resides...
The temple wherein the soul is the eternal deity...

And yet, when it comes to Health - Care Reforms, especially in a country of the likes of our Motherland, India...
A Blanket Of Silence Curtails The Requisite Amount Of Activity To Be Put In...
...To Bring This Burning Issue To The Surface...
There lies on the desk a two - edged sword...
At one edge - minuscule health - care facilities by the infamous Indian Government...
At the other - exorbitant health - care facilities by the famous, high - class Private Establishments...
The one poorly sandwiched in between - The Helpless Common Man!
~~~
The scenario which meets the eye is that of the common man being crushed - on one side by facilities which should be ashamed of being called 'facilities' at the least - and on the the other by the lavish ones - which are too proud to be addressed as 'facilities'...

The Need Of The Hour?
Health - Care Reforms!

Health Is Wealth, Since Ages, We've All Read...
Energizing The Body & Mind, Such Is Its Spread!
Abiding By This Age Old Adage, We March Ahead...
Liberalizing An Average Indian's Psyche, Silently It Led!
Tabulating The Terms - Facilities For Health Were Bred...
Health Is Wealth, In This Modern Age, We Saw It Instead!
Cautious, Carefully, This Novel Idea, We Thus Took Note Of...
Approaching These Facilities When Ever Need Arose, Thereof!
Realization, However Took Its Tremendous Time, Above All...
Echoing The Fact - These, Were But, A Facade Standing Tall!
Revealing The Harsh Truth, That These, Were Hollow...
Enabling Us To See, Not The Ones We Could Follow!
Facilitating, Not Us, But Their Fat, Fat Pockets, In Fact...
Openly Testify Stout Pockets - The Govt. Or Private Act!
Reverberated A Fact, That Common Man Stays In Deceit...
Maybe, Common Man Must Pave The Fitting Middle Street!
Say, Common Man To Common Man, Isn't That Fair Of All?

The only message I wish to convey through this post is contained in the concluding lines of this poetry...
Maybe I am being far - sighted?
Maybe I am being far - sighted?
Or, maybe it's an honest citizen's unrealized dream? :)
I prefer neither the government, nor the private sector for health care.
I believe, one life stands up for another and that's how the chain of humanity takes shape...
Do You Care To Transform With Healthcare Reforms?

Do You Care To Transform With Healthcare Reforms?
You tell me, if your opinion resonates with mine or misses the resonating frequency mark by, say a few Hertz? :P
