An Indian man working in the United States has shared why he does not want to settle there permanently. He said his experiences with healthcare in India and the US played a major role in his decision to eventually move back to India.<\/p>\n
The man, identified as Yuvaan Ibanez Garware, shared his experience in a video on Instagram. He said healthcare was the main reason behind his decision to move back to India.<\/p>\n
Garware recalled that a few years ago, he fainted multiple times in India. He said he was taken to a hospital immediately and got a private room without any paperwork.<\/p>\n
He said doctors carried out several tests, including ECGs, MRIs, CT scans and full blood work. He also said he could speak to the doctor whenever he wanted. After a few days, he received a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan.<\/p>\n
Garware said the total bill for all the treatment was $500.<\/p>\n
He then shared his experience of a medical emergency in the US while playing basketball. He said he suddenly developed severe chest pain.<\/p>\n
Garware said he could not call an ambulance because it costs thousands of dollars in the US. He said he had to drive himself to the hospital while in pain.<\/p>\n
After reaching the hospital, he said he waited for more than an hour and a half in the waiting room while his forms and documents were processed.<\/p>\n

Garware claimed that doctors later told him he had suffered a “mini heart attack”. However, he said he struggled to get answers during his hospital stay.<\/p>\n
He said that after several days, the hospital told him they did not know what had happened and sent him home without a follow-up plan.<\/p>\n
Garware said the hospital bill was $23,000. Even though he had top insurance that he said he was paying thousands of dollars for, he had to pay $7,000 from his own pocket.<\/p>\n
Garware said America “literally punishes you for being sick” and that it seemed to “pray on your downfall”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He added that while the weather and infrastructure were great, his healthcare experience was the reason he would never settle down there.<\/p>\n
Social Media Reaction<\/p>\n
Social media users gave mixed reactions to the post.<\/p>\n

Another user noted, “That’s true. The Indian medical sector is one of the best in terms of diagnosis.”<\/p>\n
