Mean Testing For Public Hospitals

Singapore time 8.56 am 17th January 2008

Mean testing is making some Singaporeans angry. I suggest public hospital should post hospital charges at commercial rates so who ever choose to be admitted to any classes will not have to worry of subsidy. Government has to list out all Singaporeans qualified for discount. So during admission, poor people can claim discount. At least the paper work is much lesser in this way.

Also this is to dispel what the government is always talking about subsidy of up to 85%. With the commercial rate, patients can compare with private hospitals. And this also give the choice for the rich to stay in C Class, as some rich people do not want to spend money any how because they were poor when they were young. They know the hardship of earning money.
