Why this cheap fellow use word India instead of talking sense.

Why he want to clean his rotten system when people looking for other choices , He wakeup only when India offer a better choice Otherwise he will not say any word if american keep suffering with their rotten systems (whatever they are "one is harm to environment").

We are making fools of ourseleves. We pick up on small things and make big issue. Obama as the president of USA has a right to address his people and tell them that there is no need to go abroad for cheaper medicare as he is trying to offer the same in America. Cheap, he said, doesn't mean that is of inferior quality. He meant low cost. He is addressing the issue of expensive medicare system of USA. So let us keep our trap shut.

Comparing to US, in India medicare is certainly cheap. No question about it and we should be proud that we provide affordable medicare. We cannot shut others mouth from saying that it is cheaper in India than US. He is asking his people not to look elsewhere for affordable medicare. As usual we argue for the sake of arguing!Goodbye.

Certainly cheap? It's a way cheap even a common man can afford it, while it's a rip off in U.S. without health insurance.

Even in India the common man can not afford it without health insurance. Do you think the common man can afford Rs 500-1000 for every visit to the doctor?

And just imagine how the hospitals in India treat you.

For a person earning Rs. 20,000 PM in India, Rs. 500 is affordable.

For a person in USA earning $2000 per month, $200 per visit to the doc is 10% of his salary.

(And yes, many ppl in USA earn $2000 or less per month).

U cannot bear the medical expenses in the USA without a medical insurance...sorry, good medical insurance (which tend to be expensive)

do not try to defend cheap obama
by dharmendra jadoun on Apr 23, 2011 02:37 PM

Please readers do not try to defend cheap obama he said cheap vs high quality not cheap vs expensive.

We are affordable not cheap ... our people , professionals (IT or medical or anything) are individually more or as talented as anybody else in the world.

We are only bad as a group (even worse) and as an individuals we are one of the best.

OBAMA SAID RIGHT
by sunil menon on Apr 23, 2011 11:18 AM

ANY PRESIDENT OR PRIME MINISTER WANTS TO SAFEGUARD ONE'S INDUSTRY AND WILL TRY TO SCUTTLE PEOPLE GOING TO OTHER COUNTRIES FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE OR ON ANY OTHER MATTER. WHY SO MUCH HUE AND CRY. IT IS GOOD THAT BECAUSE OF COUNTRIES SUCH AS INDIA, MEXICO ETC., UNCLE SAM WILL TAKE CARE OF ITS CITIZEN BY PROVIDING THEM CHEAP MEDICAL ASSISTANCE AND FACILITIES. IT IS GOOD. IF AMERICANS AND OTHER RICH COUNTRIES PEOPLE COME IN DROVE AND FLOCK TO INDIA, ONLY WE INDIANS ARE AT RECEIVING END AS HOSPITALS WILL RAISE THEIR RATES TRYING TO EQUATE THEMSELVES GIVING OUT MEDICAL FACILITIES ON PAR. SO WHY CRY? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT WE INDIAN MAKE HUES ON VERY SMALL ISSUES WHICH WE SHOULD LEARN TO ABSORB FOR OUR OWN GOOD.

US Dictionary meaning of Cheap is LOW COST, not bad quality.
by Shivam Parikh on Apr 23, 2011 10:43 AM  | Hide replies

US Dictionary meaning of Cheap is low cost.

Nothing wrong with it. He is correct. Our healthcare cost is lesser compared to other countries.

Cheap does not mean in any way our - Indian english word and meaning low quality.

This is what the media should mention rather than posting so that it angers people. Media should clarify things.

The word 'Cheap' in itself doesn't mean anything unless you look into the context of the next sentence where he mentions 'high quality' medical care in USA which implicitly means healthcare in India is not good quality.

OBAMA AND INDIAN HEALTHCARE
by Rajesh Vyas on Apr 23, 2011 10:42 AM

Obama is becoming desparate. let us not forget, he is a Lameduck President running for re-election. He has to amke such statements so that he gets a shoy at winning the re-election. Only a blunder/debacle on part of Republicans (LIKE NOMINATING SARAH PALIN)can return the incumbent OBAMA for a second term. Let us not be too sensitive to comments of a LAMEDUCK PRESIDENT of THE USA, who incidentally is a very big ands ardent lover of PAKISTAN RULING ELITE.
