Jamus Lim The motion, titled “That this House commits to supporting healthcare beyond the COVID-19 pandemic and the whole-of-Government efforts for consistent and sustainable support,” saw Members of Parliament speaking on Singapore’s healthcare system on its achievements and also on areas where it seems lacking.
This viewpoint, he clarified, relies on a holistic, long-term consideration of costs and benefits, rather than a fleeting snapshot. While Singapore’s healthcare system is globally acclaimed, he highlighted that signs of strain are evident, urging an immediate response to these capacity issues, emphasizing the need to improve not just cost optimization but also service quality.
“Healthcare is a need and not a commodity,” said Dr. Gomez, to drive home the point that for-profit healthcare systems have failed to support citizens in the fringes of our society.
It is also “widely known” that spending more on healthcare does not necessarily lead to better health outcomes, he added. Taking a more engineering than an economist perspective, Assoc Prof Lim emphasized the importance of maintaining a certain level of redundancy in the healthcare system to handle potential crises.
Dr. Chee Soon Juan said in his opening remarks, that some Singaporeans have told him, “it is better to die than to fall sick in Singapore.” He has taken heed and it seems like he has gone all out to ensure that no sick man goes untreated, no family needs to be financially burdened when their loved ones fall sick and most importantly, everyone in Singapore has access to basic healthcare.
The main feature of SDP’s proposal is the single payer system, where the government underwrites 90% of the healthcare costs through a risk-sharing, state-funded insurance scheme. Under this scheme, each adult citizen needs to only contribute a sum of S$600 per annum through their CPF. For those who can’t afford that amount, the government underwrites the premium.
“The family and loved ones are already under stress and anguish when someone dear falls ill, we certainly don’t need them to go through the indignity of having debt collectors chasing them for monies accumulated through medical bills,” Dr. Chee Soon Juan Said.
