Focusing on frail, senior patients

Tan Tock Seng (TTS) focuses on frail, senior patients as it celebrates 180th anniversary- ST online, 20 July 2024.

I congratulate TTS Hospital on its 180th anniversary. It has definitely come a very long way over the years serving our country and generations of Singaporeans.

Singapore is a very fast aging society. We might have alearly crossed the line where our over 60 years old are more and still strongly growing than our under 16 years old for the simple reason that people are living longer lives on one hand and our total fertility rates have plunged to historical low under this mediocre pap government on the other.

Reading the news, my mind drifted to our expensive medical costs and the first thing that came to my mind was Medisave.

Medisave is a very useful saving scheme and the older one gets, the more one appreciates its usefulness. It can be used to pay for a whole range of medical services and treatments, eg, hospitalisation, natural delivery, polyclinic visitations, surgery, medical fees for one's immediate family members and much more and of course they are subjected to a cap. To have a maximum cap is the right policy but it can certainly be further improved upon.

I would like to suggest the following.

In the face of our fast aging population and their need for more geriatric care, I would like our MOH to relook and revise its allowable medisave claims across the many different medical conditions and ages of its patients.

Trim or reduce the amount a younger person can claim from his/her medisave when seeking treatments at the hospitals but as he/she ages, the allowable medisave claims can be increased. For example, a certain claimable amount for those under 20, another slightly increased amount for those aged 20 to 30 years old band and so forth.

After all, a younger person is more likely to be healthier and economically active than a senior who is likely to be not as healthy and not economically productive but needs to spend more for his/her medical care and needs.

The details could be worked out after MOH's review but the above suggestion is the direction that we should embark on in order not to compromise the quality of our healthcare, a big chunk of medisave being used up prematurely and further burdening the state financially.

Think.

  • Poor Begging Sinkies:

    Sinkies, thinking or unthinking like Simon, are reduced to beggars in our own country. We beg the high and mighty for allowing us to use more of our money. That’s correct.

    Meanwhile, UK people are enjoying free, FREE, healthcare.

    Are we really thinking?

    Surgery costs e$calate at much quicker $peed than other medical costs beside cancer treatment.
    Many surgeons are pushing up surgery charges following the not so good lead of govt hospitals.

    More and more senior/elderly sgs prefer to bear their sufferings as they are being “OUT-priced” by $ky-high surgery costs that are continuously $kyrocketting still.

    The govt remains quite nonchalant of medical cost e$calations as they are of ri$ing COL IN OUR TOP OF THE WORLD COL $INKAPOOR.

    To many elderly poor,they simply grit and bear the pain.
    This is uncivilised of a self-glorified FIRST WORLD $TATE,IS IT NOT?

    So MANY WELL-HEELED YOUNG SGS BOAST ABOUT LOVING ANIMALS.
    They spend lavishly on their PETS BUT when it comes to even their ageing sick parents,they suddenly become CALCULATIVE.
    HOW DEBASED!
    I SCORN THEM.
    Such SHITTY HYPOCRISY.

    TIME FOR G TO LOOK MORE COMPASSIONATELY INTO THE PROBLEMS OF OUR ELDERLY SGS.
    NOT every elderly is rich like SOME OF OUR “RETIRED” ministers,perm $ecs and even former ELECTED PRESIDENT$???

    Spore is a place where people have no respect for fellow humans. Everyone’s in the rat race and some will push and shove others just to get a quicker foot on the MRT escalator. A few seconds faster is also a win. Same for non existent road courtesy.

    It happens in schools, army. People in authority DEMAND respect as if owed and have no qualms belittling those more junior. Parents are also very calculating with the high costs, so children learn.

    You go school/ university, how well you do is up to you. No one will help you. So you learn to be self centered, selfish. Eliminate the competition. It is the way to success.

    Morrisey has this song “we hate it when our friends become successful”. Why? They become arrogant, snobbish, disdainful of under achievers. They won’t share their wealth or success with you. Nor will they tell you how to be successful.

    Is it any wonder people prefer pets? They can’t be nasty to you or betray you or say unpleasant things.

    I am not in the least surprised at the way things are.

    And,you are right,MOST ,IF NOT ALL,PR-HDB OWNER$ OWN PROPERTIES OUTSIDE SG AND EVEN IN $G.

    ELDERLY sgs who need to DOWNGRADE from private homes tp HDB ARE BEING PENALISED MOST UNFAIRLY.
    YET,MND/HDB DARE PLACE BLAME ON THESE NEEDFUL SENIORS/ELDERLY as they need to downgrade owing to HIGHER N HIGHER COL especially in medical cate costs.

    The HDB NEEDS TO REFORM ITS POLICIES PERTAINING TO PRs.
    Many have reaped humongous return$ ADULTERATING the DAFY POLICIES.
    PERHAPS SUCH POLICIES WERE FORMULATED BY PRs working in HDB ALL THESE YEARS.

    WE NEED TRUBLU POLICY-FORMULATORS SO THAT THE POLICY FECISION-MAKERS LIKE PERM SEC N MINISTER ARE GUIDED TO FINALISE POLICIES THAT ARE TRULY GOOD FOR SG CITIZENS IN GENERAL.

    As it is,HDB IS CLEARLY SLEEPING ON THE JOB.

    If you speak like a saga all the time, you will be the best, the mother of all speakers.

    rice:
    Floods and such.
    China is so vast.
    To have floods in parts of China is no indication that Chinese govt is not doing a good job for the “renmin”,right?

    In Sg,the BULK OF THE GOODNESS WE HAVE IS THE HARD N HONEST LABOUR OF THE TRUBLU SGSUNDER THE GOOD AND CARING LEADERSHIP OF 1GLIKE DR GOH KENG SWEE who could have made himself one of the richest Billionaire but he chose to SERVE SGS as if it was his “priestly vocation”- a calling.
    Yes,a strong calling to SERVE AND NOT TO BE $ERVED.

    SUBSEQUENT LEEderships of 2G and most especially 3G have brought $IN INC to EXTREME$,HAVE THEY NOT?

    FACT REMAINS SGS HAVE BECOME IMPOVERISHED EVEN AS MULTITUDE$ OF THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES’ JOBLESS NATIONALS WHO ARE DUMPED HERE BY THE PLANELOADS AT “LIGHTNING $PEED” HAVE BECOME RICHER THAN MANY ONCE MIDDLE-CLASS SG-PMETS.
    MANY FTs can even afford to buy cars with high COEs while sgs sell their HDBs or downgrade in order to SURVIVE IN OUR TOP RANKED COL environment.
    Even when $100B was taken out from our sgs’ PAST RESERVES,MANY NEEDY BUT DESERVING SGS RECEIVED ONLY $600 OUT OF A STATED $23.5K.
    WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BALANCE OF $22.9K THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE BULK OF THE PER CAPITA GRANT?
    WHY ARE NON-SGS GRANTED MUCH MORE?
    SAVE JOB$?
    WHY CANT CUT WAGE$ THAT WERE SO HIGH?

    WHEN IT COMES TO SGS WHO NEED HELP,WE ARE SO AUSTERE BUT WE CAN SIMPLY LAVISH A $100B ON OTHERS WITHOUT PROPERLY ACCOUNTING FOR IT???
    THESE $100B are older/elderly sgs’ PAST NATIONAL SAVINGS ,NOT SOME “FTs” as claimed by Ms Rajah so haughtily???!

    In EVERY COUNTRY,THE CITIZENS COME FIRST.
    SHOW ME ONE COUNTRY WHERE THE NATIONALS COME AFTER OUTSIDERS?

    NATIONAL DAY?
    NATIONALS’ day??
    Just call it INDEPENDENCE DAY!

    When you attack an entire race, people have the right to defend themselves. Dio bo? Especially when it is a baseless scurrilous attack.

    Since you bring up this badminton player situation, let me point out your baseless scurrilous attack.

    1. You know the China badminton player Zhangzhijie who compete in Indonesia collapsed half way in the competition and died ( Is it root cause mrna vaccine or china vaccine or not vaccinated ? i leave to expert Mr GMS to investigate and fill in the blanks ).
    You insinuating something. Since you do not so it explicitly, it’s hard to comment.

    2. Today his body still in Indonesia since 40 days he passed away.
    This is a factual statement, as far as my search can confirm. There is very recent info that the body will be soon cremated in Indonesia, by the family.

    3. China still have not make arrangements to ship or fly back his body.
    This part is the baseless scurrilous attack. The China embassy, China and Indonesia badminton organizations were involved. The family members were in Indonesia for a long time. Why is the body still there? No one, neither family nor orgs, have stated the reason.

    4. 很难看你知道吗. 他妈的 China treat her own sportsman this way and you expect me to stand on her side. No way man.
    Then you continue with more baseless scurrilous attack.

    Title : Not Returned, Chinese Badminton Athlete Zhang Zhi Jie’s Body Cremated at Sardjito Yogyakarta Hospital

    China dont see any news report. Expected. Lets wait until 26th to see any memorial held in China.

    Btw, why cremate in Indonesia instead of in China ? What happen to 此生不悔入华夏, 来世还做中国人 ?

    Let me dig further.

    Tech: If I am not mistaken, almost all airlines DO NOT allow corpse to be transported unless it is a chartered flight or as a cargo, then it would require a coffin and some cold storage thingy I supposed. Besides, I think all the customs and declaration also very troublesome, so the fasmily decided to cremate it (cheaper in Indo, China costs a bomb), Ease of transport and more convenient, I supposed.
