In an interview conducted with my mother in-law she informed me that their provider was Blue Cross Blue Shield as a dependant under my father in-law (E.R. Daniel, telephone interview, September 21, 2012). The payment method that was arranged is that every month a portion is taken out of my father in-laws paycheck in order to pay for their coverage.

My mother in-law was very happy with her coverage and feels because her husband is a physician's assistant; they have always had excellent care. The only complaint she had was since she moved to the United States from India, the cost of medical insurance has increased immensely!

It not only requires the medical supplies, but basic care supplies such as food, bedding, etc. It requires more practical resources in terms of electricity and other services, as well as more human resources, as the patients require round the clock care and availability. Hospitals and centers providing inpatient care therefore need a minimum of two shifts, and possibly three in order to avoid unnecessary and costly mistakes due to the workers’ exhaustion.
