NEW DELHI: Imagine being a new mom, juggling twins, and rushing back to work after only six weeks of maternity leave! This was reality for a woman who lived in the US for 17 years. She shared a viral Instagram video explaining why she and her husband moved to India. "I was expected to go back to normal life while still healing, still learning, and still exhausted," she reveals. The heart of their struggle? The skyrocketing cost of healthcare. To even use their insurance, they faced a $14,000 yearly deductible. Their monthly premium was a whopping $1,600 just for the two adults, with a $15,000 deductible! And that didn't even cover their twins. She described their healthcare experience as "a whole saga," filled with endless calls, co-pays, and approvals just to receive basic care. Appointments for their kids took weeks, visits felt rushed, and bills piled up — adding stress to an already tough parenting journey. "Even for small things with the kids, it was a whole process," she said. The couple finally decided to move to India. Why? "Moving to India wasn't about perfection, but here, healthcare doesn't feel like a luxury," she explains. In India, they found quicker doctor access, easier appointments, and a strong support system nearby. "This move wasn't about running away. It was about running towards a life where healthcare wasn't a financial burden and motherhood wasn't a solo battle. India isn't perfect, but it gave us something we didn't even realise we were missing. Balance and peace of mind," she added. The video struck a chord, gathering nearly 18,000 likes and many comments. One user said, “I moved from the States to India 15 years ago; big move but worth it.” Another noted, "Both countries have their pros and cons, but India’s support system helps families with young children, even though day-to-day challenges can be difficult." This personal story shines a light on the real struggles many face with healthcare and parenting, proving why sometimes, home is where the health is!
