Lifelong total premium was estimated to be S$300K in an old ST news (below).
It could be high now with the high inflation in Spore.
Just recently a friend went for a gastro-colonoscopy at a private clinic. Total cost was $5K with biopsies.
Don't think MOH/HSA provides low cost colonoscopy checks at public hospital as _part_ of periodic health screening, so I guess next the best option could be to head to JB or Thailand. China seems to offer the lowest cost, but not sure if their public hospitals entertain foreigners during lull period.
Genes aside, I think one should also eat more heathily than to give optimal nutrition to the body than to rely on health insurance.
Prevention is better than cure.
