Khaw has a civil service card, meaning he is entitled to free medical treatment and special discounts on hospital services. He is not about to tell you that his privileges are unaffected by the Means Test, despite his multi-million dollar salary. Stop dreaming that you too can have a $8 bypass operation in Singapore.

KBW please come clean and break down the bill for the layman.
How much was paid by cash?
how much was paid by medisave (also our cash)
how much was paid by medishield ? double confirm that you took the highest premium and best insurance available.
There is really nothing to hide for such trivial issue , don't you agree ?
Those who can afford , please just follow his formula and if kena charge more , you can always approach him for redress.
I trust that he was not out to cheat but he painted the wrong picture that medical is cheap when the background story was not clearly revealed.

it is affordable when you can afford to pay higher insurance premium. Now is time to buy insurance.
Next he will admit that he doesn't want to send your parents to JB and Batam. He wants to send them to Laos.
friend not to be rude or anything just being straightforward, i know a lot people that earn below 2k. and its just barely enough to meet their ends. asking them to pay just 300 more a month for insurance is not possible. the issue of poverty is very real, imagine people of this group strike by critical illness?

fully agree with this. when u are struggling to make ends meet, to pay your mthly bills, insurance is something like a luxury u cannot afford. these are the ppl that will get KO if they kena some major illnesses. coverage using medisave is too basic. even for class c ward, i think u need to pay the 1st $1000 in cash.
like I said , now is time to buy insurance - as in alternative party. Not the insurance by NTUC or Great Eastern or AIA.
I know what you mean for lower income, even if I can afford my own, I can't afford everyone else at home.
hi there
1. honest, even when sheep are strapped with some insurance coverage.
2. different premium covers different items and respective ceiling and cap.
3. not all sheep can afford what cow can afford.
4. there is no blank coverage.
even without insurance, 25k ops is peanuts to khaw.
The only 'affordable' insurance is if you can pay out from your medisave. But wait. The insurance companies have all kinds of tricks not to pay you. First is the co-pay part. Like vehicle insurance, your bill have to hit a minimum amount before you qualify for medishield. No only that, the more expensive plan, the higher the minimum threshold. Medishield also do not cover for outpatient treatment and nowadays, there are plenty of expensive treatment where hospital stay is not needed so no medishield cover. Medishield covers for post hospital treatment, but it is based on renewal date. Lets say its Apr 1. So if you are hospitalized on Mar, you cannot claim for any post hospital treatment after Apr 1. Ask Tan Kim Lian, the man knows all the tricks he knew while he is with NTUC Income.
The rich and the Khaws will get away with our world class health facilities. The poor get panadols while the housemen check if the patient kicked the bucket in the middle of the night.

From some friends in the teaching profession, there are still many school kids who cannot afford a proper meal during recess. How to ask their folks to buy insurance when day-to-day needs can't be met? Our policy makers are just living in another world. The people who feed info to these policy makers only present what their masters want to listen to. That's the hard truth.
hi there
1. bro, you are damn detailed man!
2. well done.
3. fortunately, i have had much experience dealing with such insurance coverage.
4. personally and for the corporate thing.
5. yes, you are absolutely correct about those fine prints.
Why am I not surprised his bill was not $8?
Or anyone of us surprised?
Khaw is true to his inner soul, the soul PAP must have.
Why tell Singaporeans the truth at all?
At best, we only expect half truth from any of them.
Bear that in mind when you walk into the ballot booth.
Confirm not $8 lor...
As a super-scale civil servant, his medical entitlement will be super scale too lor... If projecting a low entitlement of say, claimable of 50% of his medical bills, he can easily cover the rest with his personal insurance coverage, which with his super-scale pay, confirm can get a super comprehensive plan to bring down his bills to just a mire $8.....
Another smoke bomb that ends up smoking themselves....
