Subsidy (Hospitalisation) for Citizens & Non-Citizens

Do you know ur entitlements and changes? Those who are close to me will know I've been advocating about protecting oneself against these potential costs.

Are you a Singapore PR? If you are, these are some changes that will affect you.

With the new means testing, there would be plenty among us who will be affected by it. An article dated 16th Jan 2008 described "using the June 2006 Labour Force survey as an indicator, the bottom half of earners have monthly incomes of $2,040 or less." How many of you are earning below $2000.... Do you think you would always get a bed space in ward B2?

Well, let's see how MOH comes up with the new arrangements. Keep our fingers crossed. Find me morbid, but there are countless cases of people being warded each day. We are just lucky that we are not one of them... yet. Hopefully never.
