Proposal: a simple, universal baseline of insurance cover that every family gets automatically, with the option to buy more.
What it could include
- Basic health cover for hospitalisation.
- Low-cost life and accident cover for earning members.
- Crop cover for farmers, with fast claim settlement.
- Basic cover for homes against fire and natural disasters.
Design questions
- Who pays: the government, premiums, or a mix?
- How to make claims fast and fraud-proof (for example, direct payment to hospitals)?
- How should it work with existing government and private schemes?
Estimated cost, timeline and who should act: add your analysis in the discussion.
