Capitalistic health care is the best solution as pointed out by this Dutch patient. Only in this system you can get the best value in terms of the best doctors, choice & timing of treatment. Patients frustrated by non delivery by their country's socialistic health care system are discovering excellent services offered by doctors & hospitals in India. Patients no longer want to be treated as numbers and want individual attention as this patient speaks.
Those who want to exercise a choice about their treatment such as this informed Dutch patient are willing to cross international borders to seek providers of capitalistic health care. Capitalistic health care saved him from a life of disability and despair after a knee injury sixteen years ago. He narrates his experience of several failed knee surgeries in The Netherlands. His effort to seek a treatment abroad was instrumental in the introduction of a new generation of knee implants in India called the Oxinium knee. The surgeon had to do research about the best technology available in the world and identified the Oxinium knee as a solution for young patients. As it was not available in India at that time, he encouraged the Implant manufacturing company to introduce it in India.This knee prosthesis lasts longer than conventional metal prosthesis and is suited for young patients seeking a knee replacement solution. Capitalistic health care reduces cost, improves care & encourages innovation and is thus tremendously beneficial to providers and receivers. Several hundreds of young and middle aged patients have had this implant inserted and their lives changed after this innovation was introduced by Dr.Venkatachalam.
Dr.A.K.Venkatachalam is an independent orthopedic surgeon in Chennai, India.

The US medical system is a typical socialistic system with massive government intervention for the last forty years. That is why it is awful like European countries.
