[singaporean1964]

if someone need to sell his house to get a fake plastic leg from the medical estavlisment
then something is very wrong with the system

[singaporean1964]

he should sell his story/plight to a film company
then playing as himself in the movie
the story'plot
a man struggles to fight diebetes
but due to incompetance of the moh
could not prevent the disease
the moh should already tken steps to help stem the disease thru education/regulation
but the over bloated ministers just sit on their backside
later he struggle to fight the system
in the end
many ministers were sack
and the pple became angry and drove them out
..

Yes, something is terribly wrong with the system here. It is always been said that in Singapore you can afford to die but cannot afford to get sick......

I have already said many times.
Good luck if you are a poor man in the street.
High cost of medical will kill you.

Living in hospital after an ops for 1 mth easily $40k bill
Make sure you buy enough medical insurance for yourself. I have never bought any useless eldershield. Buy more medical insurance is more important.

[Tangsen]

Curious, is he a permanent resident or is it he converted to singapore citizenship already?

Should minimum a PR. Only PR can buy resale HDB, but 2 rooms I think for low income Singaporean

[sgbuffett]

Medicare is affordable in Singapore once you sell your home.

[WhatDoYouThink!]

If dun care of yourself when young, you'll take care of the doctor's wallet when old

[YummyKing]

What happen to monies he earn from his acting?
What happen to CPF, Medisave, MediShield, Medicare, Govt subsidiary for seniors?
What happen?

That is the hard truth.......

[Dan]

if someone need to sell his house to get a fake plastic leg from the medical estavlisment
then something is very wrong with the system

and the familiar phrase from PAP would be 'What if everybody wants a fake leg?'

[debono]

You are right to bring out this point, the difference in price of a 3-room and a 2-room HDB flat is very small...........not enough to cover his hospital bills......

Medicare is affordable in Singapore once you sell your home.

Sell your home , than you going to stay where ?
you also need a place to stay after sell off

so you mean go Old folks home/ nursing home? Also need to pay can ask for financial assistant but still have to check your status

Mind you, SG Nursing home , old folks home is NOT you say want to stay will very fast got a slot FYI, need to check etc see.

It is true that Nursing Home, and old folks home takes time to get to....The only alternative is to stay in a HDB rental flat...............

[Huliwang]

Why doesn't he try crowd funding? Crowd funding even works for some people to pay damage after kena sued. .....

You shd know what is called 人情。
人情债是要还的。华人最爱面子也怕给他人看不起。

That is a good suggestion, can get many hundreds of thousands with crowd funding, no need to sell house.......

61yo diabetes....leg amputate.
Need prostetics no money sell home....


When Singaporeans look at such cases they will ask
1. Why no savings ...what happen did he gamble and spend?
2. Why no integrated healtcare plan to cover everything?
3. Is he telling the truth? Govt has many help schemes so why much sell home?

[RiseofAsia]

Medicare is affordable in Singapore once you sell your home.

Then you can shift to new place in Changi Airport Terminal.
