Please do not push for price control. It has been tried and failed.Only free market, exposing the bad practices will help fix this. They tried price fixing in USA and it has done nothing. more

In some hospitals there are two types of specialist consultations. One is in premium OPD whereas other is in general OPD. In the premium OPD, specialist fee is much higher than the general OPD but he spends slightly more time with the patient. In the general OPD same specialist fee is less but he provides consultation like a machine consultation spending just a minute or two with the patient. Within two hours of his OPD session he provides consultation to about 40-50 patients. I wonder if this is ethical and Income Tax authorities are able to collect the corresponding income tax. more
