it is one anecdote. Too many indians of privilege do not appreciate the fact that the majority of the country does not have that same privilege. Seventy people around you are all in the same social strata as you.

Are you saying not being admitted to a hospital is a privilege? I would think that if a hospital did want to fleece someone, gainfully employed and insured people would be the best candidates rather than poor people who may not be able to afford the treatment.

Trusting hospitals is the privilege being referred to.
