Why are Indian computer firms involved in these decisions at all? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE JOBS CAN BE DONE BY AN AMERICAN!!! In fact, most of the Indians who got these jobs required training from an American first who was forced to train an Indian against his or her will, and then FIRED from the Indian company where they were employed! That is why you can never trust the propaganda where an Indian company states that they are going to hire Americans. They always say they will and then use loopholes to force Americans, time and time again, to train their Indian replacement.

WE ARE FIGHTING BACK!

Indian firms hope to cash in on U.S. health-care law

NEW DELHI -- While the contentious political battle over the new health-care law continues in the United States, in India the outsourcing industry is seeing it as a boon for business and is salivating over its prospects.

Indian companies are working with U.S. insurers handling back-office operations, including claims processing, supply management and transcription services. The extension of health care to 32 million Americans over the next decade will mean that the need for those services will grow, executives here said. ["Grow"? Then hire Americans to do this work! Forget India and their thieves!!!]

"The health-care reform bill is a very, very big opportunity for us," said Ananda Mukerji, managing director of Firstsource Solutions. He said about 40 percent of the company's business comes from dozens of U.S. hospitals and insurance companies.

"A big part of what we do for the American companies is eligibility assessment services, where we assess eligibility of a patient for the Medicare program. We also work with hospitals to submit claims and enroll new patients. With the new bill, all this work will increase," he said.

The new law requires some insurance companies to devote more of the premiums they receive to direct health care and away from administrative costs.

"The health-care . . . law will create a huge pressure on American insurance companies to cut costs," said Rana Mehta, vice president of health care at Technopak, an independent consultancy firm in Gurgaon. "Ultimately it is a business decision to outsource. All this new work has to go somewhere, and India will gain."

India's outsourcing industry was shaken last year when President Obama declared that he wanted to change "a tax code that says you should pay lower taxes if you a create job in Bangalore, India, than if you create one in Buffalo, New York." [Why not just send all the work to Buffalo first without forcing it to go to Bangalore first?]

It has responded with new efforts to reach out to U.S. workers.

In anticipation of the health-care law, many Indian companies are establishing a toehold in the United States by negotiating mergers and acquisitions in recent months.

This month, Patni Computer Systems, India's sixth-largest IT firm, set up an office in El Paso after a multimillion-dollar deal with a U.S. health-care company.

"We plan to use El Paso as a major hub to deliver health-care services that are required by regulators to keep sensitive data-processing operations onshore," Sanjiv Kapur, head of Patni Business Process Outsourcing, said by e-mail. [Why can't this work go DIRECTLY to American citizens?!?]

Instead of "offshoring" work, Mukerji, of Firstsource Solutions, calls it "right-shoring," combining employees in India and the United States. He said his company employs 2,000 Americans. [Where's the proof? I have seen nice, round figures before, like 100, 500, 1000 Americans "hired" only to find out later that only a very small number of "token" Americans were hired to complete "photo publicity" material and then fired once Indians were found to do their jobs. AGAIN: Why are ANY of these jobs going to India when Americans CAN ALREADY do them and the only reason Indians are doing them in the first place is because Americans were forced to train Indian workers against their will?]

"President Obama made that famous statement about outsourcing of jobs last year," Mukerji said. [And like every one of his broken promises, laughs behind the back of the American worker.]
