CGHS beneficiaries be careful
Instead of resolving the difficulties faced by the CGHS beneficiaries, now the Government wants to link CGHS with Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) to provide treatment for CGHS beneficiaries in Government Hospitals instead of in private hospitals. In several departments like Ordnance Factories, Railways etc.schools and hospitals are being either closed or handed over to corporates who are charging exorbitantly. The government is openly saying that Education, Health etc. are non-core activities and are reducing budget allocations and handing over to corporates.
All the CGHS beneficiaries are requested to be careful about linking CGHS ID with ABHA ID because of the following reasons :-
1. It is a very well calculated and sinister move of the Govt. to eventually force CGHS Beneficiaries to avail treatment from Govt. Hospitals and virtually say good bye to getting treatment from empanelled Hospitals. Gradually and steadily it will lead to that inevitable disastrous situation.
2.If we do not recognise and understand the ulterior moves of the Govt. over this well calibrated move of the Govt. aimed exclusively at effecting cost cutting, then it is quite unfortunate and heralds beginning of CGHS beneficiaries being treated at par with Ayushman Bharat beneficiaries and virtually end of huge and incomparable and distinct advantages that CGHS beneficiaries have in comparison to Ayushman Bharat Beneficiaries.
3.There exists a need that we must start a sustained and aggressive campaign to force the Govt. to reverse its diabolical decision fraught with disastrous consequences for CGHS beneficiaries.
4. Otherwise let us be ready sooner or latter to stand in the queues of Govt. Hospitals and this is going to be a harsh reality.
5.In view of the above critical situation, we should not immediately opt for linking our CGHS Ben ID with ABHA ID as illustrated below, until we get a clear cut directives from MoH&FW & CGHS Directorate that we will not be denied the existing facilities under CGHS, for which it is requested to submit appeals by all the Central Government, BSNL, Defence, Postal, CAPFs etc. Employees, Officers, Pensioners Associations/ Unions/ Federations / Confederations, CGHS beneficiaries Associations, JCM National Council, NJCA, NCCPA etc. urgently.
yours fraternally
