Apart from the government, individuals, such as citizens, should also be responsible for managing Singapore's healthcare. Many families believe that visiting the doctor for a light illness is unnecessary and a waste of money. Most opt to rest at home and consume home remedies like Panadol and 枇杷膏. However, sometimes a misdiagnosis may occur, causing the illness to be undertreated. This may cause an unintentional spread of a potentially dangerous and deadly disease. Hence, individuals should be more responsible for their health and diligently visit the doctors if necessary for their own sake and the sake of others around them.

I think besides government subsidies and 3M, individuals themselves are responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. This is because it is important for individuals themselves to put in an effort to live healthily as well as maintain our own health. Overall it is our own bodies and no one can stop us from being healthy or unhealthy which explains why individuals should have their own self-responsibility to keep themselves healthy. In this way, individuals can avoid the chances of being warded into the hospital due to health problems and which can also help them to save another burden.

I think that the individuals is responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. It is important for individuals to manage their health and be aware of their own health issues if any as it is their responsibility to take care of themselves. By doing so, there is a lesser chance of them needing to be hospitalized or being ill.

i think that citizens themselves are also responsible for managing healthcare in singapore. it is our duty to keep ourselves healthy and fit to reduce the chances of us falling sick. we have the choice whether or not we want to lead a healthy lifestyle or choose to lead a sedentary lifestyle which can lead to bigger complications. hence, i think that citizens are responsible for managing healthcare in singapore.

2022-03-21 09:56:09 UTC

Besides government subsidies and stuff i feel that it is the role of the citizens responsibility to manage their own well being, as with he current covid 19 situation, many hospitals and clinics are packed full of people and citizens with only mild illnesses goes to those polyclinics and wait in que by not taking care of their health, it will result in the que getting longer for people who actually need the health checkup more urgently than those who only go there for something minor like sore throat and stuff.

Besides the goverment subsidies and Medisave, Medishield and Medifund, the citizens themselves are also responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. The citizens can choose how to live their own life through what they eat and whether they choose to improve their physical health through exercise. By choosing to eat healthier foods and exercising regularly, the chances of going into the hospital due to health problems are lower. They can worry less about being admitted to the hospital because they lead a healthier lifestyle. Therefore, the citizens themselves are also responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore.

individuals are responsible for managing healthcare in singapore. individuals are responsible for their own health. if individuals do not take care of their health, it could lead to life threatening and increase the cost of their medical bills.

Singapore helps to make healthcare more affordable by having subsidies. For example CHAS card, low income families can apply for CHAS card that will help them to subsidies their healthcare depending on their household monthly income the amount subsidies will be different. Having subsidies allows them to pay lesser, low income families would be able to afford for healthcare services thus making healthcare more affordable.

Ting Li

2022-03-21 13:07:02 UTC

Besides government subsidies and 3M i think individuals themselves are responsible in managing healthcare. Because many individuals neglect small things in life that may cause big harm to their health in the future such as lack of sleeping, lack of sleep can cause serious medical conditions such as heart diseases, high blood pressure and diabetes. When individuals take care of themselves there will be less chance of them falling sick, not needing to use the healthcare services hence they are also the ones responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore.

Singapore's healthcare system keep healthcare affordable by having something called the Medisave where part of the salary of a Singaporean is deducted and add into the Medisave account and is used when the person is sick or need a surgery .This helps to deduct a large amount of healthcare fee for Singaporeans.

xin hui

2022-03-21 14:15:33 UTC

Singapore helps to make healthcare affordable by using our medisave. This medisave helps Singaporeans to set aside some money so that when they are sick in the future. By doing so, it will allow them to be less worried financially when they are sick. This in turn will allow sick patients to get the treatment they need willingly. Hence, Singapore uses medisave to help make healthcare affordable.

xin hui

2022-03-21 14:20:21 UTC

i think that citizens themselves are responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. This is because we need to be healthy and fit to reduce our chances of getting sick easily. We are responsible for making our own healthy lifestyle, hence i think that the citizens themselves are responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore.

Cindy

2022-03-21 14:20:52 UTC

Beside government, i think Singaporeans are also responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore . They can do their part by using the normal ward instead of the personal one so that the hospital can fit in more patient at the same time and help those who cannot afford.

Jing Sen

Singapore's healthcare system keep healthcare affordable by governments subsidizing medical fees with Medisave, Medishield and Medifund. For example, if the citizen is unable to pay his/her medical fees due to insufficient cash, Medisave and Medishield can be an alternative to help them pay off majority of their medical fees. This makes healthcare for citizens really affordable therefore singapore's system healthcare is affordable.

Jing Sen

2022-03-21 14:36:45 UTC

In my opinion, singapore citizens are responsible for managing their own healthcare. Singapore citizens should take up a more healthy lifestyle to prevent future health complications. With more people leading healithier lifestyles, there will be less risk for life threatening health care complications thus reducing need for medical help health care.

Qi long

2022-03-21 14:38:14 UTC

Singapore's healthcare system keeps healthcare affordable. For example, medifund which is a safety net for patients that face difficulties with remaining bills even after medisave and medishield. This helps to reduce their bills, making it cheaper and easier for people with low income to pay thus keeping Singapore's healthcare affordable.

Qi long

2022-03-21 14:50:01 UTC

Besides government subsidies and the 3Ms, Singaporeans themselves are responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. Some Singaporean citizens may opt for more luxurious and expensive healthcare which they do not actually require. Opting for the correct medial treatment is very important as some healthcare treatments may be out of their budget and may put them under a ton of financial burden. Type of medical treatment and level of luxury is something chosen by the patient and not the government which is why it is also the Singaporeans responsibility for managing healthcare.

Singapore helps to make healthcare affordable with the help of medisave, medishield, medifund and government subsidies. Government subsidy is something every Singaporean will have whenever they go to a public hospital for medical services. Then in order to get further subsidy in the medical bills, Singaporeans can use medisave. Medisave is the CPF of every Singaporean. Singaporeans who work, 10% of their pay is taken and given to this thing called CPF. CPF has 3 different accounts. Ordinary, special and medisave. Medisave can be used to further subsidy the medical bills. Medishield is the insurance that one can pay for every month. Which can help to pay medical bills and later on claims can be made with insurance. Medifund is for special cases that w after all these 3 possibilities of subsidy, and the medical bill is still very expensive and cant be paid for. One can apply for Medifund for further subsidy. By having a healthcare system like this, it can make healthcare services more affordable. Which by doing so, everyone then can have access to healthcare services and do not need to worry about not getting treated. Because everyone can afford it. Therefore, Singapore does help to make healthcare affordable.

Dia Alison

I think besides the Government subsidies and 3M, I think that citizens of the country should take care of their own health. Citizens should take regular vitamins like Vitamin C for immunity support and B Complex as it helps with the growth of red blood cells, energy levels during the day, good eyesight, healthy brain function, good digestion, a healthy appetite, proper nerve function and many more. A healthy body doesn’t need to see the doctor often because there is no sickness to be found by the doctor. Or nothing that needs to be treated. By doing so this lowers the amount of money that needs to be spent on seeing a doctor. This also gives the government lesser responsibility on other people’s problems. Therefore, citizens should be taking care of their own health.

Singapore helps to make healthcare affordable through many medical subsidies. There are many medical subsidies, examples of government subsidies, medishield life, medisave and medifund. medifund helps benefit the poor and needy who still can't afford the medical cost even after medishield life and medisave. the government would help fund for the costs of the medical bill, benefiting those under medifund as it gives them less stress and worry about paying for the hefty costs of the medical bill. by doing so, everyone is able to gain access to good healthcare services without any worries about high costs, elevating the stress of money concerns as singaporeans will always be able to afford it. therefore, singapore is able to make healthcare affordable.

sixuan

2022-03-21 16:23:09 UTC

even with the government subsidies and 3ms, it's still the singaporean's responsibility for their own health. singaporean's tend to exploit the use of the good healthcare singapore provides, causing them to neglect their own health. when singaporean's take care of themselves, they won't need to use the healthcare srevices as often, giving others who need it more the chance to use it. therefore, singaporean's are responsible for managing healthcare in singapore.

singapores healthcare system help to make healcare affordable for singaporeanas. As a singaporean paying a hospital bill, firstly there is goverment subsidies which can cover up to 80% of the total bill in public hospitals. secondly there is medisave where singaporean's income is saved inside the medisave account which can be used to pay for medical treatments when person is ill or sick after medisave there is medishield which can be used to pay for surgeries such as radiotherapay, chemotherapy and kidney dialysis and lastly there is medifund, people that still need further assistance can apply for medifund at polyclinics and public hospitals. This let singaporeans be at ease when it comes to hospital bills knowing that they only have to pay a small percentage of the bill.

tristan

2022-03-21 16:40:14 UTC

I think besides government subsidies and 3M, Singaporeans themselves are responsible for their own well-being. for example daily things like hydrating ourselves, eating proper amounts of calories and making sure we see a doctor when we are unwell. Things like falling sick can be avoided only if we take care of ourselves and be aware of our hygiene not running around places and catching viruses. After getting a virus it may spread to our loved ones and it may be risky to grandparents because of their old age and it becomes a burden and all the guilt.

Singapore help to make healthcare affordable by providing Singaporeans with subsidies such as medisave. Medisave helps to cover a portion of hospitals bills to allow one to afford the bill. thus this will help singaporeans with low income to afford hospital bills and reduce their burden, making healthcare affordable for singaporeans

Dalsten

2022-03-23 03:48:56 UTC

Singapore have a healthcare system where it helps to pay and subsidize for medical bills. All working Singaporeans will have a amount of money in the medisave and the medical bills will be paid by this medisave amount because of the medishield which is paid by the Medisave money. Another healthcare system Singapore Gorvenment have is the Medifund which helps pay for medical bills if they cannot afford it. However only some people qualify for this, for example people for have gone through subsidised treatment. With these healthcare systems in place, Sigaporeans will not have to worry about not being able to afford the medical bills. And this is how singapore help keep healthcare affordable in Singapore.

Dalsten

2022-03-23 03:54:12 UTC

Other than the Government who is responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore, the citizens are also responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. Because whether the citizens get sick or injured is their own responsibility. If citizens take good care of themselves, then they would not even need to see doctor. Hence, other than the government, citizens themselves are responsible for managing their healthcare.

janis

2022-03-23 04:29:16 UTC

besides government subsidies, i feel that Singaporeans citizens should be responsible for managing their healthcare. as it is their individual health, one should be responsible to take care of themselves. thus one will have lesser chance of being hospitalized. therefore individuals are responsible for their own healthcare in singapore

Jing Yang

2022-03-23 09:44:16 UTC

Besides government subsidies and 3M, individuals themselves are responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. For example, individuals can keep themselves healthy by exercising regularly, eating healthily and getting enough sleep. This can help to improve an individual's lifestyle as the body is getting the nutrients it needs from food, having enough rest and also allowing the person to feel active which can improve the individual's health and lifestyle. By doing so, individuals that are healthy do not need to go to the doctor for regular check-ups, allowing the doctors and nurses to priorities the needy. This allows more needy to be able to go for check-up resulting in more people being able to recover from illness and this manages healthcare.

Syufiera

2022-03-23 10:33:24 UTC

I think that the hospital management should be responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. They are the ones who is helping with our healthcare and if things go wrong, the hospital management should be held responsible for it.

Singapore has a system called the MediSave. MediSave is a national medical savings scheme that helps individuals set aside part of their income to pay for their personal or approved dependents’ hospitalisation, day surgery and certain outpatient expenses, as well as their healthcare needs in old age. For example, if someone develops a rare disease in Singapore and will require money to help the patient, MediSave will help cover the fund for the surgeries and medications needed. Therefore, this helps to protect a citizen’s worry when they are hospitalised as they know that the government will help subsidise the costs of the hospitality.

syafiq

2022-03-23 10:56:09 UTC

i think individuals should also take care of themselves. first is because is due to common sense. why would an individual want to fall sick? and even though the government covers the costs of hospitality, that doesn’t mean we should take advantage of the govt. not only that, individuals should also take care of themselves as to not affect other people such as family and friends.

HAZIQ

Besides government subsidies and 3m,singaporeans themselves are responsible for managing their own health. For example, a person can take care of their own health and avoid being sick by drinking enough water and exercising regularly.This can help to keep oneself healthy and avoid sicknesses.

Singapore keeps healthcare affordable through Medifund. Medifund is a safety net for local citizens to pay off their hospital bills if even after medisave and medishield their hospital bills are too expensive. You can apply for medifund and the government will step in to help pay off the bils. This helps singaporeans with low income pay off expensive healthcare, allowing a wider range of citizens to afford healthcare in singapore thus Singapore healthcare ststem helps keep healthcare affordable

Singapore's healthcare system keep healthcare affordable by having programs like Medifund. The government provides a financial safety net for needy Singaporean patients even after going through the process of Madisave and Medishield. This lead the Singaporeans to not worry much about the payment bills from the public hospital as it is very affordable

Johnathan

2022-03-23 11:46:11 UTC

Apart from the government, citizens themselves also play apart in being responsible of their own healthcare in singapore. Singaporeans are also responsible for their own healthcare as having a healthy lifesyle will reduce the need for citizens to visit clinics and hospitals, thus this will reduce the amount of bills they have and keeping healthy will also reduce the risk of health complications such as cancer or covid. This can help clear out space in hospitals allowing others with more urgent emergencies to get admited earlier. Thus local citizens are also responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore

ash

2022-03-23 12:26:43 UTC

besides government subsidies and 3m , i think individuals should be responsible for managing their own health to prevent health issues. Examples like exercising regularly , eating healthily by following the ‘ My Healthy Plate ‘ and getting enough rests . By doing this , it can minimise the chance of one getting sick which could lead to further life threatening problems like heart or kidney problems if not done so . Therefore citizens should be responsible for taking care of one’s health

Maldaa

maldaa_abdul_aziz — 2022-03-23 12:33:24 UTC

Beside the government individual are responsible for managing their healthcare in Singapore. For the 3M's to work, the individual must first have a stable job and pay in order for it to work. If the individual could not manage their own finance, there would not help given in times of need. Thus, the responsible is from the individual.

zhijun

2022-03-23 12:34:57 UTC

Medisave helps Singaporeans make healthcare more affordable by taking out a percentage of their salaries and putting them in an external source which cannot be withdrawn by the individual but is saved for hospital fees because some Singaporeans are not responsible enough or have never considered to save some money for emergency purposes for example medical bill and end up having unpaid debt that keeps accumulating and end up paying more than they had to to just pay the original fee

zhijun

2022-03-23 13:02:30 UTC

The citizens of Singapore should be responsible for managing their own healthcare by being more observant, cautious, and less lazy. As being in a hospital is usually the cause of something that could have been quite simply avoided. For example running on a slippery surface or contracting a disease or illness due to the lack of exercise and the constant consumption of unhealthy foods. These could lead to a build up of underlying problems and when noticed, the operation or medication may be more expensive and eventually barely being able to pay for medical consultations or medications but not able to pay for proper food.

Rachel

2022-03-23 13:59:38 UTC

I think that beside Governments subsidies and 3M, The citizens themselves are also responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. As they are they only one who can make the decisions to take care of their own health. If everyone plays their part to take care of their health, hospitals can be saved for people who are in bad conditions. As for those who are not as sick they can just go to normal polyclinics. Therefore, citizens also play a part in managing healthcare in Singapore .

Singapore had helped make healthcare checkups affordable through Medisave. For example, Medisave helps to deal with cancer treatment in different types of public hospitals. By doing so, with Medisave, it ensures Singaporeans that they are being subsidized when they face issues such as having a high amount on hospital and medical bills, and it helps to reduce the difficulty they face as it has already been covered by Medisave, allowing them to have a peace of mind and have the courage to visit the hospital for professional healthcare checkups. In conclusion, Medisave helps to make healthcare checkups affordable by the subsidizing of hospital and medical bills.

Singapore's healthcare system keep healthcare affordable by providing subsidies for Singaporean. For example,the 3M Medisave, Medishield and Medifund. These subsidies would be able to help Singaporean cover medical bills and to make their medical bills more affordable so Singaporeans will be less worried about the bills. Thus, Singaporeans would be able to less stress about the bills making healthcare affordable.

Jun Lun

2022-03-23 14:38:42 UTC

I think besides having the subsidies given by the government and 3M, the people should have their own self-responsibility to manage their healthcare in Singapore. This is because it is important for themselves to put in an effort to take care of themselves, live healthily as well as maintain our own health. In this way, Singaporeans can avoid the chances of being warded into the hospital due to health problems and which can save themselves from another problem and difficulty in paying the hospital bills.

leying

2022-03-23 14:46:06 UTC

Besides government subsidies and 3M i think that Singaporean themselves are responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore. Singaporeans should be more wary of their health and lifestyle as the more demand of people needing to see doctors the less supply of staff and doctor the price will increase making healthcare more expensive. Hence, Singaporeans are responsible for managing healthcare in Singapore.

Rachel

2022-03-23 15:33:36 UTC

singapore’s healthcare system keep healthcare affordable by providing subsidies, such as medisave, to singaporeans so they do not need to fork out too much money when paying for their medical bills. they would also not hesitate to seek healthcare or worry about high healthcare costs since there are subsidies to help them reduce the costs of their medical bills.

Singapore helps to make healthcare affordable by introducing medifund. Medifund is a subsidy by the government when both of your medishield and medisave do not have enough money to help you pay for your medical bills. This make it so that you will always have enough for a medical visit as it is affordable

Zh

2022-03-23 22:26:49 UTC

Other than government subsidies and the 3m, I feel that individuals themselves should be responsible. They should be responsible as this is their own life they are leading and hence should not depend on others too much. being a responsible citizen by taking care of themselves leads to less visit to doctors, meaning less use of money, which leads to not running out of medisave which leads to no fear of haveing not enough money if really nessasary.

singapore's healthcare system help to make healthcare affordable for singaporeans by the many medical subsidies such as medisave, medishield life and medifund. medifund ican help the poor and needy. for example, when they cannot afford the medical bill ,in the public hospitals, even after the subsidies, medisave and medishield, they would then have to apply for the medifund and the government would help fund most of the medical bill. this will help the needy reduce the stress of having to pay the whole bill. therefore, this helps singaporeans to be able to afford the expensive medical bills.

Isaac

2022-03-24 00:46:16 UTC

I think that other than the singapore government, singaopore citizens are too responsilbe for managing their healthcare. Patients can, instead of using ward A in hospitals, opt into using cheaper wards such as ward B and C. By choosing a ward A, hospital prices would be much higher as compared to ward B or C, putting more of a financial burden onto the patient. This is why i think that beside the government, singapore citizens are also responsible for managing their healthcare.

zu ming

2022-03-24 02:09:42 UTC

healthcare is affordable. having healcare such as medisave will help to pay for hospital bills incase of emergencies . singaporeans will have to pay for little or no expences when they get injured thus making healthcare affordable

Singapore healthcare system keeps healthcare affordable by medisave . It is to decrease the cost of healthcare bills as Government contributes to the medisave paying their expenses for healthcare .

the people should be responsible for managing healthcare. healthcare is in place to pay for singaporeans hospital bills. but it doesnt neeed to pay for singaporeans medical bills if they do not get injured in the first place. citizens neeed to live a healthy life and hopefully only go to the hospital when they get into a car crash and not from natural causes thus humans are to take care of themsleves

apart from the government subsidies and 3M, individuals, such as the citizens, should be responsible for managing healthcare in singapore. they can do this by taking care of their health and if they are ever sick they should avoid going to the hospital unless their illness is severe. instead they should try home remedies, take medicines that you can get from pharmacies which is much cheaper than going to the hospital. therefore, they are responsible for managing their healthcare

singapore's healthcare system keeps healthcare affordable with MediSave, medisave is a system where a percentage of the cpf earned is sent into the medisave account. and when sporeans have to pay for medical bills and don't have money to pay for it, the accumalated amount of medisave can be used to pay for it, making healthcare cheaper

because of singapores aging population, our elderly count will be doubled by 2030 hence we need more money in the future for healthcare and hence the government has to get more money from the citizens and hence will tax us more.

Johnathan

2022-03-24 03:58:39 UTC

There is an increasing cost of healthcare in SG due to the aging population in singapore, there will be more elderly, thus more elderly will need urgent healthcare due to health diseases. This increases the demand for hospitals and clinics which will make the healthcare more expensive

sixuan

there is a lot of elderly in singapore, and it needs the government to be able to fund for them. and singaporean elderly come from different walks of life, so it varies how much the government must help to fund. therefore, the government must increase the tax so they will have more money for healthcare to deal with the increasing cost

KEITH LIM

1. MEDICINE is getting more expensive as supply decreases.
2. INFLATION
3. COST OF MANPOWER (Doctors and Nurses)

the elderly population is incrreasing and will be doubled by 2030. since there is a higher population, the current subsidies are not enough thsus the goverment tax more moeny so more money gies to the elderly

Shou Nam

2022-03-24 04:00:36 UTC

Advancements in technology to treat the population, due in part to the complexity of the tech, like an ipad 'doctor' where the nurses can just key in the patient's condition and medical history, which may, if there is risk for coronary heart disease or other issues, the algorithm can recommend diagnostic tests or follow-ups with relevant specialists, as well as the power required to power said technology becoming more expensive as global warming rages on. With said advancements, treatments will be administered at a massive scale, driving prices up further, thus advancements in technology will increase costs of healthcare in Singapore.

tristan

2022-03-24 04:00:38 UTC

with covid 19 there is a higher demand for healthcare thus there will be a higher and a higher demand for the resources but there is more demand then supply thus the healthcare willl increase

xin hui

2022-03-24 04:00:48 UTC

There is a growing population of elderly's in Singapore so more money is needed to fund for the healthcare. The government will need to increase the tax so there is more money prepared for healthcare and others.

Qi long

2022-03-24 04:00:59 UTC

The reason why healthcare costs have been increasing in Singapore could be because as years go by, the technology for healthcare will grow more advanced and this requires more money to pay for. The life expectancy is also increasing which will lead to more elderly people in Singapore that require healthcare.

jerald

2022-03-24 04:01:06 UTC

with the numbers of elderly increasing , they are more vulnerable to diseases and viruses , causing an increase of demand of healthcare . with more patients in hospitals and clinics , the supply be less than demand . causing a surge in medical fees

syafiq

2022-03-24 04:01:06 UTC

Due to Singapore's population increasing, with birthrates also increasing, more and more families need healthcare. Not only that, due to covid 19, more people are falling sick and are unable to self medicate themselves. therefore, they will tend to attend to clinics and hospitals more and that will require more medication to be provided to sick victims and therefore there is an increasing cost of healthcare in Singapore.

zhijun

2022-03-24 04:01:27 UTC

because doctors are risking their everyday encountering potential Covid patients so the government has to pay them higher salaries as they are one of the most important jobs right now in this pandemic and with many hospitals filled with covid patients, they have to do whatever it takes to keep and hire more doctors to attend to these patients.

There is more different type of sickness like kidney failure, dialysis and diabetes. There is different types of treatments and to get the treatments like their medicine or using the high-tech machines like the MRI machines can get expensive. When more people get sick, their treatments like anesthesia during a surgery will reduce in the number and will need to get more as more people requires it for the surgery that is needed for their treatment.

Due to covid cases soaring amonst elderly, many elderly need health care treatment however, many of them have no money as they have no children to fund for them and they might have lost their wives or significant others already. Many elderly now have no money to pay for their healthcare treatment thats why the government have no choice but to help them pay. Therefore our GST must increase to AID the elderlies in need so that hopefully in the future they can do the same for us

charlotte

there is an increasing cost in health care due to the aging population. the aging population causes there to be an increase in the number of elderly. the elderly are more susceptible to many diseases and health issues, which will require them to get extra help for more serious diseases from hospitals and clinics. as they will have more bills to pay for doctorial and hospital visits, the amount of money payed for healthcare increases, thus increasing the cost of healthcare.

haziq

The equipments used are becoming more fancy and there will be an increased amount of elderly population by 2030

Isaac

There is increasing healthcare costs in Singapore as there is a increasing elderly population, by 2030, the amount of elderly in singapore will increase from 450000 to 900000, doubling it. This makes it so more people will have diseases more often, making more healthcare needed, thus making it more expensive to keep up with the amount of elderly

Healthcare would be more advanced due to the growth of technology such as A.I., Google’s DeepMind created an A.I. for breast cancer analysis.

more people are getting sick more healthcare are needed for the people that are sick in Singapore to prevent the spread of the virus like covid 19.

xiuru

the side effects of living longer, more time will be spent in bad health, especially in older ages. All these factors increase demand for healthcare needs and an increase in manpower costs , resulting in higher costs

insyirah

There is an increasing cost of healthcare in Singapore because with Covid-19, there is a higher demand for resources such as ART kits and masks but there are limited supplies. Thus the increase of costs.

Peixuan

2022-03-24 04:03:31 UTC

I think there is increasing cost healthcare in Singapore because of the covid-19 pandemic and a lot of resources need to be funded such as the masks, art kits, hand sanitisers and much more. And also like increasing demand of healthcare for elderly as the birthrate is decreasing which means that more elderly means that they are more vulnerable from diseases thus need healthcare.

Rachel

2022-03-24 04:03:41 UTC

There is increasing cost of healthcare in Singapore because of situations like Covid. Due to the pandemic, there is an increase in healthcare needs, more people are visiting hospitals and clinics. Because of Covid, there is also a need for the vaccine, mask and test kits. which are not cheap.

shanice

2022-03-24 04:03:52 UTC

i think that there will be increasing cost of healthcare because there will be increase in the number of elderly as time goes by. this means that there will be more elderly that requires the need of healthcare. so there will be more demand for the healthcare which is why healthcare will be more expensive.

kevin k

2022-03-24 04:04:12 UTC

as there are more elderly seen coming in the future, there is a need to tend to more elderly as elderly are more prone to sickness and diseases and as the birthrate of singaporeans are declining, there would be lesser healthcare staff and so the prices of healthcare would be more expensive.

zh

2022-03-24 04:04:12 UTC

there is a increasing cost of healthcare due to the increasing number of elderly. as getting older means that you are more prone to sickness and diseases, there are some people who are and is not prepared. and therefore government help to subsidy them. due to the growing population, there are more elderly that needs the help of government subsidy and this leads to increased healthcare proficiency by purchasing more advanced medical instrument and supply as they have to tend to more patients. this leads to government using up more funds on healthcare and this leads to the need to increase the cost of healthcare to balance the economy.

Jing Yang

2022-03-24 04:05:01 UTC

There is more elderly in Singapore so more money is needed to subsidies healthcare as elderly are more prone to diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

Dia Alison

2022-03-24 04:05:20 UTC

In 2020, healthcare use and spent a lot due to the increase hospital capacity and social distancing measures to mitigate community spread of the coronavirus. Because of Covid-19 a lot of the healthcare workers deserve a raise because they have been working extremely hard. I saw an article the other month and it said that

1,500 healthcare workers resigned in the first 6 months of 2021 due to growing fatigue as Covid-19 drags on. Being a healthcare worker is tiring and with their hard work they do deserve to get paid more. Now we are lacking of healthcare workers, now, how are we going to get treated? Who do we run to?

Dalsten

2022-03-24 04:05:45 UTC

Due to the increasing life expectancy in Singapore, there will be more elderly and they will require more healthcare treatments. This means that the demand for health treatments and the use of medical equipment increases, resulting in higher cost for it. Because elderly could have more diseases, there will be a need for more money to purchase the equipment used for treating them. Hence, the increase in life expectancy is causing the cost of healthcare in Singapore to increase.

janis

2022-03-24 04:05:51 UTC

there is an increasing cost of healthcare in Singapore as there is an increase population of elderly in Singapore. With older generation requiring more health attention, for example kidney dialysis which are long term, it requires a lot of equipment thus forces hospitals to have a higher demand of equipment to tend to the needs of elderly. as some Hospital equipment are costly, government increases the tax for more money to contribute to the healthcare in Singapore.

nilam

2022-03-24 04:06:37 UTC

the healthcare is getting more expensive as the demand for it is higher as the aging population is growing in singapore. the aging population would need to get more treatments as they get older. hence the demand would be higher for the treatments

ash

2022-03-24 04:06:49 UTC

i think that as Singaporeans aging population is increasing the elderlies in SG will increase and as elderlies have different health issues like kidney failure or heart diseases which will require more medicines, technology like X RAY scanners and more manpower to help in surgery and nursing. This will result in a increasing amount of healthcare

tristan

_{Due to high demands from covid packages and relief for singaporeans, cost price must increase to compensate for the huge loss in reserves. An estiamted}_{A total of $13.8 billion was allocated for}_Covid_{-19 response operations by the Government in last year's budget. Then the money can be used to support the struggling families or contribute to the larger society of elderly}

Maldaa

maldaa_abdul_aziz — 2022-03-24 04:07:58 UTC

I think there is an increase cost of healthcare in Singapore as there is an increasing demand for subsidies but the money supplies from taxpayers are decreasing rapidly by the year as Singaporeans are growing old in a fast rate and the birth rate are very low in Singapore. To state the example, the birth rate is 1.14 per women and 5 death per 1.000. Which make singapore a huge aging population. Which result in the increase of taxation and income tax will increase too.

leying

2022-03-24 04:08:28 UTC

The more demand of old people needing healthcare services the less supply of people there is to serve them the price of healthcare services would be more expensive.

chloe

2022-03-24 04:10:10 UTC

because of covid-19 pandemic, the subsidies that is provided by the government would not be able to provide mask and hand sanitizers for every Singaporeans, as there is an increase cost of healthcare, thus there is a higher demand of healthcare and resources and the government would need to increase the cost of healthcare in SG to fufil the needs.

zef

2022-03-24 04:11:27 UTC

There is increasing cost of healthcare because the number of elderlies have increased. The life expectancy has increased as more people are getting good healthcare. The birth rate has also decreased which means there are less working adults. Some of the healthcare issues that need to be paid for are diabetes and high blood pressure, which need to be paid over a long term. Thus, when there are more elderlies, there will be more of them with health issues. With less working adults, there will be an increasing demand for the payment of healthcare bills for the elderlies. The GST would need too be increased to keep up with the demand of healthcare bills.

Johnathan

2022-03-24 04:32:39 UTC

No, because the amount of taxes paid are more fair in the sense that we dont have to pay more for healthcare that we do not use. This will make it more 'fair' thus more citizens would be satisfied with the system

yuetao

2022-03-24 04:33:13 UTC

yes, if we do change our system to be like Sweden, we can work hard now and later enjoy more subsidies in the future when we retire and is old

jun lun

2022-03-24 04:33:22 UTC

There is a growing population of elderly's in Singapore so more money is needed to be funded for their own healthcare. The government will then need to increase the taxes so there will be more money prepared for healthcare and others.

syufiera

2022-03-24 04:33:52 UTC

No because there is no use giving more taxes and not needing to visit the doctor often. I can use the money for better usage like being able to get other important necessaries.

Isaac

2022-03-24 04:34:36 UTC

No. If we change the healthcare system, we would have to pay more taxes based on our pay range. Its not fair for those who rarely visit the doctor or any specialist to lose part of their pay for no benefits.

zm

2022-03-24 04:35:04 UTC

no. everything in the world is increasing in cot so need to spend more money. if the tax increase, sgporeanss may not be able to offrd it thus nonchange is required

Jing Sen

2022-03-24 04:35:14 UTC

I think i would like to pay more for the sake of keeping the elderly healthy as in the future we will most likely face the same situation as the elderly of today and the government might have insufficient funds to pay for our health care. I would never want to place myself in the position of the less fortunate and i hope the new generation would also pay more GST to provide for my generation when i get older.

kevin

2022-03-24 04:35:18 UTC

no, singapore should not change the way of managing the healthcare costs as singapore has already adopted a way to making sporeans get subsidized through their own money such as cpf into medisave and medishield, but if they still do not have enough money, there is medifund, where the government covers the missing amount of money needed

Shou Nam

2022-03-24 04:35:33 UTC

We should consider it. Although we will need to tax like the Swedish, as there are people in society that can't afford to pay for healthcare, especially after being taxed. The young, old, ailing and poor would be able to benefit in such a system, with the workers being taxed more as a result. This would then equalize the socio-economic diversity in Singapore bringing us closer together in terms of healthcare.

KEITH LIM

2022-03-24 04:35:57 UTC

no, we should not be paying <50% of income tax as we still need to live, especially if we are used to a certain lifestyle. (buy nice things, go nice places...)

syafiq

2022-03-24 04:36:05 UTC

No, because why would we pay more taxes for others' healthcare. As it is the hard earned money that we worked for, i feel that we should be allowed to keep more money for ourselves. Therefore, I do not support other ways for singapore to manage socio economic diversity through healthcare.

xin hui

2022-03-24 04:36:06 UTC

no we should not as we may not necessarily need that healthcare so the money that we pay would not be used by us. The money can then be used for important items that we need.

Cindy

2022-03-24 04:36:29 UTC

No, if government change the way of managing socio economic diversity through healthcare, it will be unfair for people who are working now as they need to pay more tax, which is use to help other people that needs healthcare frequently.

Qi long

2022-03-24 04:36:41 UTC

Singapore should not change its healthcare strategy to be like Sweden. The cost of living in Singapore is extremely expensive and if the tax income rate is higher people will not be able to pay for other daily necessities besides healthcare

sixuan

2022-03-24 04:36:46 UTC

no, because high taxes would only cause more stress put on the working people, and some of the money used for taxes wouldn't even be used for ourselves at times if we are healthy

Ting Li

2022-03-24 04:36:54 UTC

No. Paying more tax may lead to people being unable to pay for their basic necessities especially for low income families, although they may only have to pay very little tax but their income may still not be enough for them to pay for their basic necessities

zef

2022-03-24 04:37:22 UTC

No. It would be unfair for the people with no health problems if the tax rates are increased. They would be paying more for their taxes for no reason. With a higher tax rate, more people will be more stressed

maldaa

maldaa_abdul_aziz — 2022-03-24 04:37:23 UTC

I feel that if Singapore were to change and increase taxation, the income from the working people must increase their paychecks. It is so that the damage to the working people would not be affected as much.

leying

2022-03-24 04:37:29 UTC

no, the people working will not have to stress too much and live their life happily and find partners and then Singapore can increase more future generation

tristan

2022-03-24 04:37:34 UTC

we should not change our current situation because compared to sweden, our government subsidies and 3Ms sytem is a very organized and fair way of spreading the money out.some people dont need healthcare but if the government increase their taxes for healthcare then it may be useless for them to pay for taaxes

charlotte

2022-03-24 04:37:35 UTC

i dont think there should be a change in the healthcare in singapore. changing the healthcare system as changing the healthcare system to a government financed approve will cost more for the working class as they will have to pay for a higher income tax. this will make the working and future working class unhappy as they have to manage both money for their bills, monthly spending on necessities and a high tax, leaving them unable to enjoy life or properly save enough for the future

sharifah

2022-03-24 04:37:47 UTC

There is increasing cost of healthcare in Singapore as there is a higher demand for healthcare as compared to the past due to a growing population of elderly. The government will have to fund for them and to be able to fund for the growing population, they will have to increase tax in order to have more money for healthcare. Therefore there is increasing cost of healthcare in Singapore.

Peixuan

2022-03-24 04:37:53 UTC

No, i think tax payers should not pay MORE because it is his/her own hard earned money so i think the sg govt shld not increase the amt of tax for tax payers to pay ...

insyirah

2022-03-24 04:38:10 UTC

No, if we change the healthcare system, people would have to pay more for taxes. It is already stressful enough for many people to maintain their hard work so if the healthcare system changes, people would have to stress themselves more and work even harder to be able to afford things

haziq

2022-03-24 04:38:11 UTC

no.it is unfair to still pay for extra taxes even though we dont visit the doctor.

nilam

2022-03-24 04:38:15 UTC

no, because i would still have to give a portion of my salary even if i do not go to the doctor often. there wouldnt be any benefits to me and it would be unfair.

Rachel

2022-03-24 04:38:18 UTC

No, as healthcare is a shared responsibility. It is not fair foe low income families who are already struggling with money to pay more taxes if they are not sick. In addition, with the help of govt subsidies and 3m healthcare is already affordable for most families.

janis

2022-03-24 04:39:01 UTC

no, i feel that Singapore should not change the way the healthcare system is as it is unfair to the working people as they will have to work more to contribute to tax. other than that, the working people may not have to use the healthcare, making it not fair as they could use the money for a better lifestyle

2022-03-24 04:39:01 UTC

we should take the swedish healthcare it is for our children future

zhijun

2022-03-24 04:39:02 UTC

no. the amount we pay is not to much and not to less. It is a reasonable amount.

chloe

2022-03-24 04:39:15 UTC

no. if i do not get sick easily and would not need the healthcare, it would be unfair for me to be paying for more when i am not using the facilities.

jerald

2022-03-24 04:39:19 UTC

no because i feel like the subsidies right now is okay . gst is already increasing and it should not increase anymore and its not going to make people happy if it keeps increasing

zh

2022-03-24 04:39:25 UTC

we should consider other ways to manage socio-economic diversity through healthcare.
i feel that the government have subsidised enough and they should increase tax from fast food restaurant as they are a main cause in the vastly increasing unhealthy people. by increasing tax in things that is unnecessary and increase in health problems, the people would avoid them unless they are rich and therefore they would not mind paying more taxes. which lowers hospital visits and increase tax recieved.

xiuru

2022-03-24 04:39:52 UTC

no, as a working adult with no health issues, there's no point visiting the clinic and paying for more taxes, as i can use that amount of money to reward myself and save it for future emergency use

ash

2022-03-24 04:40:01 UTC

Singapore should decrease the healthcare bills for all people with different income, if the healthcare costs increase the people who cannot afford will be stress which could lead them to have more health problems . The people with low income visit the doctors or hospitals often due to serious health issues will be unable to pay for their healthcare as they will be paying a lot for every visit

shanice

2022-03-24 04:40:05 UTC

yes. from the point of view of the elderly and the low-income families , they would be able to enjoy cheaper healthcare which would be beneficial for them. due to the expensive healthcare in sg , some of these people are unwilling to see a doctor because of the huge sum of money they have to pay which can cause their health to deteriorate even more. so if other people in sg are paying higher taxes , then they will benefit and enjoy healthcare at low costs without needing to worry about money.

Jing Yang

2022-03-24 04:40:24 UTC

No. Healthcare in Singapore is already heavily subsidised by the government especially for the low-income groups. If Singapore's healthcare is the same as Sweden, taxes must be paid to the government depending on how much you earn. Those that also do not need to go see the doctor often also have to pay for taxes.

Dia Alison

2022-03-24 04:40:54 UTC

I think it is a good idea because that way my healthcare services are affordable. If i was financially unstable, I don't need to worry a bout the taxes and my healthcare services. And I do not have to worry about being financially unstable. Because the lesser my salary the lesser my tax or even better, no tax at all. This way the poorer doesn't get poorer and the richer doesn't get richer. There wouldn't be a big SES gap. And not only does it benefit the people with lower salary, it also benefits the people who are with higher salary. Because we all get cheaper and more affordable healthcare services.

JL

2022-03-24 04:41:39 UTC

No, the amount of taxes paid by us are more fair in that sense so we don't need to pay more for healthcare that we do not use. This will make it more 'fair' thus more citizens would be satisfied with the system

What does it mean? How is healthcare paid for?

misschellelineo — 2022-03-28 09:35:28 UTC

misschellelineo — 2022-03-28 09:49:44 UTC

Medicare

misschellelineo — 2022-03-28 10:01:19 UTC

Medicaid

misschellelineo — 2022-03-28 10:01:51 UTC

Citizens are given the freedom to choose their own healthcare providers but they have to cope with the costs of healthcare largely on their own. To do this, Americans are expected to buy medical insurance to ensure that they can receive and pay for the necessary medical treatment.

misschellelineo — 2022-03-28 10:18:12 UTC

The US government doesn't intervene in the setting of prices by healthcare service providers, nor with the choice of healthcare service options by citizens

People rely on insurance to afford healthcare but insurance companies are profit making and charge a high premium in a market based system.

Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). 2014 - Increase possibility of lower SES groups receiving more help in terms of healthcare needs. Families with low to moderate income are now eligible for financial assistance in obtaining insurance coverage.

2022-03-29 06:43:18 UTC

If i was above 65 i would not like this healthcare system as it would force my children to pay over their life savings if i get sick or have an accident. Unless im single and alone then this healthcare system is good

yuetao

2022-03-29 06:43:58 UTC

no, i would not like this system, because although the insurance will be available to me, there is still a chance that i will still not be able to afford the prices of healthcare even after subsidies.

KEITH

2022-03-29 06:44:24 UTC

I like it and think its fair because im old and cant do much to work and help the economy. furthermore i already work alot when i was younger, so its my turn to reep the benefits.

zm

2022-03-29 06:44:24 UTC

yes as medicare helps with 65 year old elderlies and can fund for when i get injury

charlotte

2022-03-29 06:44:40 UTC

as a highly paid american doctor, i would like this system as i do not need to purchase insurance with the money i earn, and incase of an accident, i will not need to worry if i can afford insurance, the medical bill or basic necessities .

xin hui

2022-03-29 06:44:46 UTC

Yes I would. Since i am old so i will be less likely to work and be able to pay for the full sum so it would reduce my financial burdens when i get into an accident or when i am sick

janis

2022-03-29 06:44:52 UTC

i would like this system as i feel that if my company offers employer provided insurance, it will cut the burden on my cost of healthcare. thus being able to afford healthcare without any worries

Cindy

2022-03-29 06:45:04 UTC

I will not like this system. I might not have enough money to buy insurance for healthcare . I will not have insurance and might not be cured by the doctors in America or not have enough money to pay for the hospital bill after being cured.

isaac

2022-03-29 06:45:17 UTC

If i was an american elderly above 65, i would like this healthcare system as i would be able to pay less for my hospital bills and not go bankrupt

Shou Nam

2022-03-29 06:45:40 UTC

I would absolutely love this system, I get paid loads, won't get in too much trouble if I get sued, work with insurance companies and small pharmacies to drive prices up the wall causing millions bankruptcy, all while not suffering from any of those issues! Also, of course the federal government is on MY side! Also, did I mention all the lobbying and corruption?

jerald

2022-03-29 06:45:40 UTC

yes i would want insurance , because i am a part timer with a low monthly pay of 1.8k . if anything were to happen to me and i would need to be hospitalized and need surgery or any sort of medical treatment i would not be able to afford it due to my low monthly income , the insurance would help me.

haziq

2022-03-29 06:46:23 UTC

yes.i would like this healtcare as it covers for most of my medical bills.As we grow older,the possibility of us working and earning is very low as we tend to grow weaker.

Maldaa

2022-03-29 06:46:32 UTC

I would not like this healthcare as i may have already retire or planning to retire. If that happens, there would not be any income coming in and i would probably only rely on my children or grandchildren for financial support and health insurance. Also, as an elderly, I will need to go back and forth to the hospital as i will need to get medical treatment and frequent hospital visit for my health. Which can add more to my already outstanding bill. Even though i am fit for medicare and medicaid i still do not have any money to pay for the remaining bills and not enough insurance. Thus, i do not like American healthcare system.

Dalsten

2022-03-29 06:47:11 UTC

If i was a highly paid American doctor, i would like this system because the insurance is provided by the company. If i ever kenna sued, the insurance will help cover and i do not have to pay as much.

nilam

2022-03-29 06:47:22 UTC

yes, because as i grow old i would less likely be working so this system can help me pay for my treatments as i would not be able to afford it .

Dia Alison

2022-03-29 06:47:32 UTC

I do not like this American healthcare system because Medicare and Medicaid is just an insurance and insurance still have to be paid monthly and insurance is so expensive. I would not have the money to pay for it because I am not working, so because of that I need my kids to help me pay for it but then it would just strain my kids even more. Which means I will still be in debt and go bankrupt

syafiq

2022-03-29 06:47:38 UTC

If i was above 65, i would both dislike and like the healthcare system. i dislike it as my family members such as my children and my grandchildren in the future will have to work really hard in order to have a successful future. however if i focus on myself, i would like it as i have the Medicare and Medicaid for my insurance to cover me when i fall sick.

shanice

2022-03-29 06:47:41 UTC

no i would not like this healthcare system. although i would be able to have insurance like medicare, i may still not be able to afford the healthcare bills. i still need to pay a huge sum of money to make sure my insurance cover most of the healthcare bills which results to me still paying a lot of money. it is worst if i do not have a job so its better if i have free healthcare.

zhijun

2022-03-29 06:47:46 UTC

no i would not like the system because i do not have any insurance so if something happened to me, i would have to pay 2 months worth of my monthly salary to pay for one hospital trip

zef

2022-03-29 06:48:19 UTC

yes i would like this system. i can worry less about needing to worry about paying for insurance, and free insurance is always good so i do not need to spend as much when i get injured

sixuan

2022-03-29 06:48:22 UTC

i would be neutral about it. yes, it is good that my healthcare funds my medical bills, but the healthcare does not cover for the entire cost either. i have to rely on family members and it seems very unfair, and if im single, i would have to go back to work just to afford it if i dont have enough savings for it.

syufiera

2022-03-29 06:48:33 UTC

yes cause I still can get my high pay and i dont have to think much of the cost of the insurance during my work which allows me to focus more on work

Jing yang

2022-03-29 06:48:37 UTC

Yes. I do not need to buy insurance as the company has already provide us with insurance. I do not need to pay a lot when I go to the doctor and can use the money to buy other basic necessities or buy more insurance.

zh

2022-03-29 06:48:38 UTC

yes i would like this system as i am a highly paid american doctor, any disease or event that may happen to me in the future may reset my money progress and therefore, having an insurance at the expense of a fraction of my pay seems really reasonable

kevin

2022-03-29 06:48:46 UTC

i do not like the healthcare system cause there is no insurance for part times and i earn very little ( $1800 ) a month, so i cannot pay for personal insurance considering other expenses.

Ting Li

2022-03-29 06:48:53 UTC

i would like this system as it will help reduce burdens on my family when i am sick

yes. i would want this healthcare system as although with my high salary, i may not be able to cover for all of my bills, but with the insurance, they are able to pay for part of my bills so that i would have to pay as much

If i was an elderly over 65 I would not like the healthcare system as if my children earn moderate income or I have no savings left, my children may have to use all their saving and go into debt to pay off my medical fees in an event I get sick

No I would not like this system as Medicare and Medicaid are insurances that do not apply to "me" and ACA/Obama care is only helping it become more affordable but still "I" still would not be able to afford buying the insurance with a monthly pay of $1800 and still needing to pay for personal expenses.

no. i would not like this system because i am a part timer which means that medicare, medicaid doesnt cover for me if smth happens to me because it only apply to 65 years and older or people with disabilities and permanent kidney failure, low-income adults, pregnant women, eldery adultrespectively. Thus, idl because i do not have insurance covered for me.

I would dislike this healthcare system as I fit into the age group required for medicare but I would have not much money to pay for insurance fees and also people like my children would end up having to pay the full amount of money required as they do not qualify.

No, I will not like this healthcare system. As an average pay part-timer who does not get to enjoy employer-provided insurance, if one day I need to visit the hospital I would have to pay a huge sum of money that I might not be able to pay off.

I would like this American healthcare system. Since I am already old enough to not be able to work and pay for the medical funds. After having the American healthcare system, I will be able to pay for my hospital fees even when I get into accidents or when I fall ill
