Affordable Health Care for All Americans: A Matter of Literacy? : "Some medical experts are now asserting that the failure to provide or support a public policy educating Americans into a more than Basic health literacy level is bringing about needlessly high costs in terms of individual health, healthcare spending, and the economic well-being of the nation as a whole. 'Our findings suggest that low health literacy exacts enormous costs on both the health system and society, and that current expenditures could be far better directed through a commitment to improving health literacy,' said John A. Vernon, PhD, Department of Finance, University of Connecticut, and lead author of the new report."
This would be even more relevant to India !
