health insurance for expats in delhi

i've just been quoted £317 per month by BUPA for health cover including repatriation for my family. Do we need it? What do most expats do?
grateful for any tips, and bless you all - you've given me heaps of top quality advice today

I would consider that excessive.

Medical insurance is available in India and will be less expensive. Here is one link http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/...2901260300.htm

personally, I just take my chances....should you need to go to a hospital or doctor a private appointment with a specialist will cost you less than a presciption in UK...
however...I have no family to consider and no desire to be repatriated...
