Do you expect doctors to see patients for nothing? If you are
prepared to pay hundreds of dollars to see Manchester play for 90
mins or watch the F1 race, surely one should expect to pay more to
doctors who deal with life-threatening conditions?
Without higher medical insurance premiums, who is going to pay
the increasing medical fees of patients? And medical fees will only
continue to rise, because we can do more for patients and patients
expect more. In the 50s, if you have a cancer doctors
will probably tell you to go home and prepare your last rites.
Of course it is cheaper to kick the bucket than to go for
surgery and chemotherapy...maybe you prefer that?
Indeed wise mushroom I concur.
Surely a man who is holding a position that is
vital to the survival of mankind
have to be paid, and more I say more than what we paid for silly
races and babaric games. A man, whom without his prescence our
nation would be disease ridden, alas and god forbid, a garden city
no more. Singpapore without this vital group of people will be like
a human body without white blood cells; she dies. This group of
people are of course our sweepers and our cleaners. But here is the
problem, these vital people are paid very much lower than our all
important people who can afford to watch babaric games.
I am not asking for your pity on this group of people, but
shouldnt the govenment help out these people, to the government
welfare is their F-word, untouchable word. The white blood cells
have serve your body so well, without whom you will die, and now
you are not going to care about them? Please, the 7% is for
something useful iznt it?
