COVID-19 Patients Who Are Unvaccinated 'by Choice' Will Have to Pay Their Own Medical Bills From Dec 8
Channel News Asia ^ | 08 Nov 2021 | Aqil Haziq Mahmud

From Dec 8, all COVID-19 patients who are unvaccinated "by choice" will have to pay their own medical bills if they are admitted to hospitals or COVID-19 treatment facilities, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said on Monday (Nov 8).

The Government is currently footing the full COVID-19 medical bills of all Singaporeans, permanent residents and long-term pass holders, other than for those who test positive soon after returning from overseas travel.

"Currently, unvaccinated persons make up a sizeable majority of those who require intensive inpatient care, and disproportionately contribute to the strain on our healthcare resources," said MOH.

Excellent idea. Chicoms are fully responsible for covid and must pay punitive damages to all the people who became sick with the Chinese manufactured flu

Well, it would only be fair if the government or the manufacturer pay the hospital bills of any vaccinated person who is hospitalized for Covid.

Well I guess their system didn’t work out too well...

Singapore has achieved universal health coverage through a mixed financing system. The country’s public statutory insurance system, MediShield Life, covers large bills arising from hospital care and certain outpatient treatments. Patients pay premiums, deductibles, co-insurance, and any costs above the claim limit. MediShield Life generally does not cover primary care or outpatient specialist care and prescription drugs. MediShield Life is complemented by government subsidies, as well as a compulsory medical savings account called MediSave, which can help residents pay for inpatient care and selected outpatient services. In addition, individuals can purchase supplemental private health insurance or get it through an employer. The national government is fully responsible for the health system.

Universal health care revealed. The not so informed US population who favors this should read this fine print.

Its not free, you need extra coverage , and you are required to participate.

All that decision making you had before gone.

Also they don’t realize that many of these countries have oppressive income tax rates, and VAT that adds an automatic 20% to a purchase.

It looks like no sales tax until you understand what VAT is.

Lived in Europe for 5 years so know a few things about the systems , realities...
