This reminded me of Dr. Devi Prasad Shetty (of Narayan Hrudayalaya, Karnataka, India) who created a very innovative Micro-health scheme (http://www.yeshasvini.org/) of distributing the cost of heart surgery among the masses for a meager 10 cents (5 Rs) a month.

Today, approximately 1.6 million farmers are eligible to receive heart surgeries (and 955 other surgery types)

He has recently started getting traction in New Delhi for a similar scheme.
