Healthcare, HERE LIES RICA'S FAVOURITE SURGERY OPERATION / PARASITE…

- - - - strain on SG economy
- - - - share the costs of healthcare with the government
        = shared responsibility
  - - - pay for it via Medisave
      - use Medishield when Medisave doesn't cover it (not enough money for surgery etc)
      - automatically covers someone unless opt-out
        => less costly + increases risk pooling => affordable
    - - medishield life
        
        offers higher claim limits for hospital bills and outpatient cancer treatments like chemotherapy.
        
        no lifetime claim limit for MediShield Life, meaning you are covered until death.
        
        covers pre-existing medical conditions (ie ; congenital problems or HIV)
        
        extra benefits to the elderly: e.g. above 80 dont need to pay premiums, above 70 only need to pay half of the premium
- - - - people of less fortunate backgrounds would not be able to afford = cannot get proper treatment = higher death rate
  - - - consumption of said goods would bring spillover benefits to society
    - - people are unsure how much exactly to set aside
        
        too little = not enough to pay if get into major accident
        
        too much = lots of money gone to waste
    - - healthier country = more productive work = fewer man-hours lost
      - people more productive = more work done = economic growth
  - - - use private sector to reduce waiting time @ public hospitals
      - foreign doctors and nurses to help meet healthcare
        (who ask them make medicine so hard to get into, this is their fault ngl)
      - long waiting time = self service kiosks (get your ticket number)
