Affordable healthcare: Bill of a premature baby


Thank you, Kenneth Tiang, for sharing your experience and your baby's bill with us. It adds another piece of valuable proof to the heap of stories that have been shared with this page on affordable healthcare.
A premature baby spent 5 months in the neonatal intensive care unit and incurred a bill of $326,152 !!
Government grant: a whopping $249,531
Medishield Life accounted for $72,372
Medisave paid for $4249
Out-of-pocket payment? $ZERO
If that is not a great system, what is?
We have a very good healthcare system with the 3Ms, so let's not mindlessly attack the system for other agenda because you don't like the government.
And yes, for all their imperfections, we do have a great government too.
