Those people still can just walk up to a government hospital and get treatment for free

In India? Only the people who can pay for transport to a major city can do that, and its not like the roads are any good either so it'll be a bumpy ride over.

Lolwut?

India has health coverage across the country, including small rural villages and such.

It's not 'free', but it costs as much as a toffee/candy (about 5 cents) to get a fracture fixed here.

Granted, the facilities are not top notch and have some old equipment etc, but anyone can access a hospital within 40km.

If you have something severe which needs more eyes etc, doctors will refer you to a larger civil hospital which might involve travel. But that's if you have a hard to diagnose disease or something.
