Abstract: To provide a holistic view of health care, it is important to incorporate the insights and opinions of those with an outside perspective on the allopathic health care system here in the United States. This study included one-hour, semi-structured interviews with Indian immigrants of different ethnic, religious, and educational backgrounds. The interviews provided information and analysis from three distinct forms of medicine: Ayurvedic, allopathic, and homeopathic. Other important themes include the combining of these systems, financial obligations, and spirituality. This study strives to lend a greater understanding of one of the various populations taking part in the United States’ health care system.
