A Dialogue session with government feedback unit REACH on MediShield Life
Official938LIVE, 22 Jan 2015
The legislation to facilitate the implementation of MediShield Life was introduced in Parliament last week. Among the announcements made was that under it, the Health Minister will have wide-ranging authority to check the income and health status of all those covered under the scheme.
There will be penalties imposed on those who willfully default on premium payments too. Why does enforcement need to be stringent? How much will premiums cost? How much assistance will the government provide to those who need help paying them? How can the scheme be sustainable in the long-term?
Guest: Senior Minister of State for Health and Manpower Dr Amy Khor . Dr Khor is also Chairman of the government feedback group, REACH and members of the public with questions about the scheme.
