According to Wuji in his post in TRE, many seniors are being harassed by reminders from the CPF to pay for their Medisave Insurance. Oops, oops, cannot say harrassment, just gentle reminders. Is this true? How many seniors cannot afford to pay for their CPF Medical Insurance? Maybe not many has seniors are quite rich, or maybe not. These schemes are very good for them. When they are sick and hospitalised, if they have no money to pay, the medical bills may shock them to death. But with this so thoughtful and caring CPF Medical Insurance Scheme, they can live in peace, hospitialised in peace. The CPF Insurance Scheme will take care of the bills. True or not? Please tell me it is true and not otherwise.
How old are the seniors, above 60, in their 70s, 80s, and 90s. Many already either retired or lost their jobs in the 50s and 60s. Still got money to pay for CPF Medical Insurance Scheme meh? Can, got, the govt got top ups for the seniors so sure can pay. How much is the top up and how much is the premium? Enough or not?
When a person has not been working for 10 years, 20 years or 30 years, still got money in the CPF to pay the premium, before or after govt top ups? I dunno, honestly, I dunno. I have not received any reminder letters yet. Touch wood, pray pray, no reminder letters.
Seriously, for those in the 70s and above, they came from a generation with very low income and very little CPF savings and would have serious difficulties paying the premium. For those with weak hearts and kia chenghu type, receiving reminder letters would be like letters from Ah Longs, it must be excruciatingly frightening. Cannot pay how?
Why are old folks being pressurised to pay medical insurance premiums when they don't even have enough money to pay for food? Why subject these oldies to such pressure and harrassment in their golden years or dying years? And when GST goes up, they must pay GST also.
Where is the heart? Where is the compassion?
Anyone got any good solution to spare the old folks so that they can live in peace just before they RIP? I am sure the super talented millionaires have no good solution or else they would have come up with them to show how kind they are to the oldies. Or this CPF Medical Insurance is the best they could come up with.
When one is in the 70s and older, no job, no income, no savings, no CPF, no nothing, everyday waiting to be called home, and still being pursued to pay their insurance premium, what kind of life is that? Can this be called cruelty to the oldies? Owe money to the government because the government made it compulsory for them to pay for CPF Medical Insurance which they cannot say no. But they really got no money, then how?
The Ah Longs would say O$P$. This is the law. And in this rules based country, not rules based order, the law is the law. Poor oldies, it is for your own good you know. The govt created this wonderful and caring CPF Medical Insurance to help you, to take good care of you when you are sick and hospitalised.
So be grateful and say thank you. The reminder letters are just reminders only.

ReplyDeleteSingapore to Be Asia’s Millionaire Capital by 2030, HSBC Says (Aug 17)
Singapore will overtake Australia to have Asia’s highest share of millionaires in the adult population by 2030, according to a report by HSBC Holdings Plc.
The financial hub is expected to top the list in Asia-Pacific followed by Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the bank wrote in a report Tuesday. The proportion of millionaires in those four places is also expected to come in higher than the US by the end of the decade, the report said.
In the next eight years, the number of millionaires in Singapore as a share of its population will be more than that of the United States, China or any other economy in the Asia-Pacific region, said HSBC .
The Republic, where 7.5 per cent of the adult population had wealth of at least US$1 million (S$1.38 million) in 2021, would see the share of millionaires rise to 9.8 per cent in 2025 and then jump to 13.4 per cent in 2030.
To measure the wealth of the millionaires, HSBC said it used their cash in banks and investment in securities such as stocks and bonds. It also took into account real estate holdings, which include owner-occupied properties, after deducting any outstanding mortgage amounts.
Aiya just up all property prices all sinkies will be millionaires lar
DeleteHow to find heart and compassion in people with-OUT
ReplyDeleteConscience ?
Does anyone even expect integrity in them ?
Ethical Standards Is Non-Existing
ReplyDeleteIf you have a good heart and full of compassion for the seniors, would you come out with a COMPULSORY insurance schemers' scheme to HOOK WIND them in the first place?
These COMPULSORY insurance schemers' scheme derived from people with CROOKED minds, a mind to make the MAJORITY pay for the MINORITY (the filthy rich and the multi-millionaire ministers).
Who is the ONE who came out with this SCHEMERS' SCHEME?
VHO next GE!
ReplyDeleteSin has gone

Many seniors are dead broke. In such a situation, 10c also don't have.
ReplyDeleteWhat they need is generosity. They need help, they need money.

Honestly, if they voted for 'Pay and Pay' it does not matter. They voted for it, right?
ReplyDeleteThe kindness of the Singapore PAP government is unbelievable. They come up with all sorts of schemes to safeguard the welfare of the old folks in Singapore. Medical services is Singapore is one of the most expensive in the world. So, what is wrong with this healthcare insurance to pay for the expensive medical care when needed? Singaporeans are always complaining and never satisfied.
