Does the government help with people who cannot afford cancer treatment?

[krafty]

yesterday, during lunch time, i was outside Raffles place mrt. i saw an uncle probably in his 50's to 60's looking for donations. beside him, there was a placard which he wrote that he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and could not afford the chemo treatment. he is seeking holistic treatment instead. also, on the placard was a photo of him and his children age 9 and 10. i was smoking at a slight distance away from him and after my smoke, i decided to donate 2 dollar, not much but i hope it help in a way.

my question is in such a case, why the government never bother to help him? that means if the patient cannot afford treatment, he will be left to die on his own? can any bros and sis please advise? thanks.

Stage 4 cancer is incurable. All cancer is incurable. Its better for him n his love ones to accept tat fact n move on. Any form of treatment is a waste of money n prolong the suffering. Any gahmen help is just throwing tax payers money into the ocean

Did you ask him who he vote for during the election? If it's PAP, then tell him to die sooner.. We need less stupid people in the world.

If really stage 4, he wouldn't have the strength nor energy running around RP asking for donation.

Treating stage 4 cancer is a waste of time and money.

The govt does help him. They give him strong words of encouragement such as "You die your business". and "No money No talk". Also Govt is damn generous for not arresting him for begging.
