'We must not write off super elderly Singaporeans by depriving them of coverage.'
MR JEFFREY LAW: 'Wednesday's report, 'Let's plug beyond-85 health insurance gap', is cause for concern as people aged 85 and older are not covered by health insurance amid rising health-care costs. We must not write off this group of super elderly Singaporeans by depriving them of health insurance coverage. Without coverage, these elderly citizens will be an additional financial burden to their children, who are typically in their 50s and 60s now and are planning for their own retirement.'
