Questions were asked at an Oct 10 event about whether this funding model could lead to patients being under-served when doctors, clinics or hospitals seek to save costs
Mr Ong said that this risk has been seen in other countries that adopt capitation funding, where hospitals under-serve patients because the fewer patients they treat, the more the flat fee may cover the costs.
Who are the 61% idiots to believe his BS?
Another Head Damage like Tan SL hired by LHL again.

This Healthier SG is to save cost for the govt because the govt will pay a flat fee per patient to the doctors.
The doctors must think of how to treat the patient in cost effective way to earn more.
The patient will likely be under treated
Flat fee funding (base standard fee) ie $7 per visit so that the remaining cost is paid by patient
Co -funding ie $7 per visit is still the same remaining cost borne by patient
=> Both cases the GPs will just charge more, lah
Same like CHAS card
The PAP Morons will never learn anything
This is the 5th time, PAP just want to fatten the doctors again
In business, there is nothing better than recurring/subscription-based fees.
I doubt the benefit of seeing the doctor even when you are not sick, but I don't doubt how much the GPs will huat.
lousy doctor pay how much also no use
