Let us understand what is the Right to Health Bill? What will people benefit from the Right to Health Bill? Why is the Right to Health Bill being opposed? And what does the state government have to say about this whole matter? Let’s get started.
The Right to Health Bill was one of the poll promises of the ruling Congress in the 2018 Rajasthan Assembly elections. For the first time in the financial year 2022-23, CM Ashok Gehlot announced to bring the Right to Health Bill. According to it, the bill was introduced in the Assembly in September 2022 but could not move forward due to various other reasons, including the provision of mandatory free emergency treatment. Due to heavy opposition, the bill was sent to the Select Committee. After which it was passed on Tuesday in the current budget session.
What are the benefits of the Right to Health Bill?

Under the Bill, the state government will compensate the concerned patient in case the expenses of treatment in an emergency are not borne.
