Answers:
When i started to answer the yahoo answers i realised that i am getting the best and cheapest health care in World -
i am living in India state called Kerala.
Most analysts have seen Kerala’s achievements in health as something of an enigma. Kerala achieved the health status as par with that of USA spending roughly 10 US $ per capita per year while US spends about 3500 $ per capita per year on health care. With virtually all mothers taught to breast-feed, and a state-supported nutrition programme for pregnant and new mothers, infant mortality in 2001 was 14 per thousand, compared with 91 for low-income countries generally.
In Kerala the birth rate is 40 per cent below that of the national average and almost 60 per cent below the rate for poor countries in general
The GDP of Kerala is even less than that of the National average. Kerala’s achievement in health in spite of its economic backwardness and very low health spending has prompted many analysts to talk about a unique “Kerala Model of Health,” worth emulating by other developing parts of the world
