    Default Health insurance in India

    Hello
    Thanks for explaining the different income tax benefits that are available with health insurance policy in India. I am planning to buy medical insurance for me and my family. However, the only income tax benefit i am aware is under sec 80D of the IT act which is upto Rs 15000. However, there is no mention about the same. It would be great if you can elaborate on the same and other benefits of health insurance in India.
