Eligibility
Private health insurance plans are open to all individuals, whereas government plans have specific eligibility criteria.

Premiums
Private insurers decide premiums based on age, region total insured, and other risk variables; Govt plans are subsidised, so premiums are low.
Coverage
Private insurers provide customers with tailored coverage, but government policies have a uniform basic coverage centred on critical healthcare.

Choice
Regular health insurance policies allow customers to get treatment from their preferred hospitals and healthcare providers. Government plans have established provider networks as outlined in the scheme.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Regular health plans may exclude pre-existing medical issues from coverage for the first 2-4 years. Government policies cover pre-existing diseases without extensive waiting periods.
