00:00The budget countdown has begun and the government's focus can be on health care in this budget.
00:06There is hope for a major announcement for about 17 crore people in the budget.
00:10Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman can announce to double the coverage limit of the Modi government's Aayushman Bharat Yojana.
00:17This can benefit poor families up to Rs 10 lakh for free treatment.
00:22Discussions are underway between senior officials and the government.
00:26What are the details and how much can be announced, let's know in the video.
00:30Under the scheme, up to Rs 5 lakh free treatment is being provided.
00:34The government has been proposed to double it.
00:37It is believed that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman can increase the coverage limit to 17 crore people and give a big gift.
00:47Under the Aayushman Bharat Yojana, about 12 crore families get up to 5 lakh free treatment in government and private hospitals.
00:55The government believes that the coverage should also be increased in view of the increasing costs of treatment.
01:01In this way, in the budget 2024, this coverage can be increased from 5 to 10 lakh rupees.
01:06Prior to this, President Draupadi Murmu had included all citizens above the age of 70 in the Aayushman Bharat Yojana.
01:14Under the Aayushman Bharat Yojana, double the coverage will also increase the expenses.
01:20The National Health Authority believes that by covering up to 10 lakh, the scheme will have an additional burden of Rs 12,076 crore annually.
01:29However, in the interim budget presented on February 1, Rs 72 crore was allocated for the scheme.
01:35On top of which, it is estimated that Rs 19,000 crore will be spent on the scheme if Rs 12,000 crore is added.
01:41Under the Aayushman Yojana, about 12 crore families have been added to the country.
01:46In addition, according to the President's announcement, every citizen above the age of 70 will be included in it.
01:52This will increase the number of beneficiaries from 4 to 5 crores.
01:56This means that in the coming time under the scheme, the total beneficiaries will reach up to 17 crores.
02:02In view of the increasing costs and treatment expenses, the government had proposed to increase coverage under this scheme.
02:08It has been said that cancer and transplant-like treatment are also included in the scheme, which costs a lot.
02:15Hence, coverage should be increased under the scheme.
02:18So now the hope is that the coverage limit of the Aayushman Bharati Yojana can be almost doubled.
