The Planning Commission said it is framing up a blue print for a universal insurance scheme which would provide a minimum health cover to everyone in the country. The Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia said this while talking to reporters in New Delhi. He said that Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna -RSBY is currently available for all BPL families and other additional categories. Montek added that it is also quite possible that it can be expanded for others. Under RSBY, below poverty line households are provided health insurance cover, which entitles them to hospitalisation coverage of up to 30,000 rupees. Beneficiaries under RSBY need to pay only 30 rupees as registration fee, while the central and state governments pay the premium to the insurer. The Commission has also called for increase in public expenditure on health to 2.5 per cent of gross domestic product per annum by the end of 12th Plan (2012-17) from the present level of 1.4 per cent.
