PM Lee proposed MediShield Life during NDR 2013 but warned that premiums would increase. He said however that the Govt will subsidize those who cannot afford the higher premiums.
I am a rare unlucky person. I had an incurable disease, and I had to visit my same good doctor at the government hospital bi-monthly ever since I was struck with it.
What is surprising is that throughout these years since 2009 end up till now, our beloved government had increased my visiting subsidy starting 2010 January from $13.32 to currently at $33.42. Wow, a $20.10 subsidy increase!
What a fantastic subsidy, which no other government can do (they claimed). What our government had done for us, is it not good enough? The trick is that I am now paying $32 per visit as compared to $25 then. Confusing?
No, the fact is that the visitation fee had been raised from $38.32 to $65.42. Who knows? So this is not a lie that they will help to subsidy the medical as much as they can. Paper work out only what.
Look at the fact chart below. Considering that only a few percent are chronically sick who will die soon anyway, it does not destroy the voting pattern, does it? Try writing to Mr. Gan, hope for any reply, forget it, I tried 3 X.
| Hospital Visit to the same doctor | ||||
Consultation | Subsidy | Pay | ||
| 2013 June 21 | 65.42 | 33.42 | 32 | |
| 2013 Feb 20 | 56.08 | 26.08 | 30 | |
| 2012 April 27 | 43.93 | 15.95 | 28 | |
| 2010 May 5 | 40.19 | 14.19 | 26 | |
| 2010 Jan 20 | 38.39 | 13.32 | 25 | |
| Status | 70% | 151% | 28% | |
So, each time the Govt medical subsidy increases, I pay more also!!!
Do our Singaporean medical staff get such a pay increase during this period, if so I would not mind. Then how about the billions we budgeted went to? They said statistics tell lies, I do not think so, it is the man that made statistic lies. Sigh!
