Compare Best Family Health Insurance Plans in2018
India’s population is more than 135 crores now,
and of this, less than 35 crore people are covered by government health
insurance. The recently announced Ayushman Bharat scheme does aim to cover 50
crores people, but it is directed at only the poor and marginalized sections of
society. The ultra-rich can take care of their medical expenses easily. So that
leaves the majority of the lower to upper middle class to fend for themselves. This
is a list of the best family health insurance plans available in 2018.
