Healthcare in Singapore IS AFFORDABLE.

 

Many testify to it. Here's the bill for a patient who had heart implants after recovering from stroke and a heart attack.

Total Charges: $17,232.68
Government Grant: $11,209.06
GST: Absorbed by government

Net amount payable after grant: $6,023.62
MediSave took care of $602,36
MediShield and IncomeShield, and MediSave took care of the rest.

Out-of-pocket payment : $0

It's a system that works. It's a system that makes healthcare affordable

Affordable healthcare! Many testify to it. 🙂

Affordable Healthcare: you get subsidies in B2 Class also

The amount of subsidies you can get from a C Class ward is substantial, as much as 80% of the total charges.

If you choose a B2 Class ward, you will still receive subsidies though less than C Class ward.

In this bill for example, government subsidies pay for about 40% of the total charges. The rest of the charges were taken care of by Medishield Life, Insurance, and Medisave.

The total bill was $38,500.
The amount payable by Medisave after subsidies and insurance was $6974.

The patient was responsible for about 18% of the total bill.

Out-of-pocket payment was $0.

We have a good healthcare system. 👍👍

Affordable healthcare is not a myth

Affordable healthcare is not a myth. More people have shared their experiences with the Singapore healthcare system and it is indeed affordable.

It is high time to debunk the lie constantly spread by some that healthcare is expensive. They do this for a political reason. They tell people that in Singapore, one can die but cannot afford to fall sick.

Unfortunately some gullible poor people who urgently need medical treatment bought into the lie. As a result, they did not seek medical treatment at the earliest. They waited until their condition had worsened before doing so, thus reducing their chances of a better outcome of treatment.

Stop the lie. Save lives.

Affordable healthcare through the 3Ms

Generous government subsidies, together with Medishield Life and Medisave have made heathcare in Singapore affordable.

Take this example here. The patient incurred a bill of $13,154 for a 9-day stay in a C Class ward at TTSH.

Government subsidies: $9493
Medishield Life: $2060

𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐞: $𝟏𝟕𝟐𝟗
Out-of-Pocket payment: 0

The amount paid with Medisave represents 13% of the total bill. Government subsidies and Medishield Life took care of 87% of the bill.

You enjoy the same good quality medical care by a team of doctors during your stay in hospital even if it is C Class.

Something to be thankful for.
