The per capita public expenditure on health in India is relatively very low. Notably, central government expenditure through grants and off budget activities seemed to be more equitable. Concerning the healthcare insurance particularly relating to India, a number of research studies have analysed schemes, both centrally sponsored, or state government funded. The states that currently have their own state-sponsored scheme generally also cover Below Poverty Line (BPL) families. Tamil Nadu state government has a tie up with the United India Insurance Company.
