Health care costs will go on going up as the price of real estate goes up in New Delhi & other Metro cities.

It is interesting to see ad of Delhi Development Authority (Government body controlling land in the capital city of India- Delhi/ New Delhi) which has advertised for plots for:

Hospitals
Nursing Homes
Polyclinics

in different parts of Delhi state.

You can look at sr. no. 2 where reserve price for 6 Hectar plot is Rs.464 crores. Assuming 500 beds will be available in this hospital the fixed cost of land for every bed will be Rs.92 lakhs. To this you have to add the following costs.

Construction cost
Equipment cost
Manpower cost

You can well imagine what a patient will have to pay when he is admitted to this hospital in 2016 or 2017, when the hospital will be operational.

This leads us to conclusion that one must have Health Insurance policy to pay for those costs.
