1. About 12% of the urban and 13% of the rural population got health insurance through the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana (National Health Insurance Scheme) or similar plans.
2.With 62% of its population insured, Andhra Pradesh reported the highest coverage, followed by Kerala (39.5%) and Chhattisgarh (39.3%).
3. every year 2 cror households pushed into poverty due to high rise of out of pocket expenditure over the health.
