I've studied Obamacare for the last 6-7 weeks. I'm dismayed by the amount of lies to discredit the scheme that has made it to Internet. There are many good lessons from Obamacare that Singapore can adopt to help those 20% without insurance and are at risk of high medical cost. Some of the...

There is plenty of misinformation about Obamacare from political opponents. The above is untrue, if you're poor, there are generous subsidies to make sure you're okay...why do you think Republicans are "defunding" Obamacare, they are blocking these subsidies to people who need it. It's been a...

There is a lot of misinformation about Obamacare on the Internet mainly to discredit the scheme. The scheme has generous subsidy for those who cannot afford healthcare insurance. The penalty for not having insurance is $95 which people say is too low for the die-hards who simply refuse to buy...

I have to agree with some points above. People hammer Saw for not doing her job. So if that is true, it cannot be expected that the next feller can just turn the ship ard by just snapping his fingers. It takes time. Sometimes critics are not so consistent. While you can grouse that he is not...

Inherited wealth lah. You notice the PAP religiously preach MERITOCRACY like it is some magic formula that took us to where we are ...however, inherited wealth runs counter to MERITOCRACY and the PAP is also okay with it and just eliminated inheritance tax a few yrs ago. So it is not MERITOCRACY...

It is sad to hear people "quit" their own countries. However, you think about it there are 200 countries in the world to choose from, there is likely to be one better than the one you're born it. Then think again, for most people, there will never be a country where you have so many friends...

I called to cover shorts of HSI on 30 Sept and go long, HSI has rallied nicely since and today it is up another 200pts. I expect further upside pulled up by the improvement in China's economy. HK is more directly linked to China than us, which helps to more than offset the situation in US. How...

I think first time I registered I used passport but subsequent they give me patient card to use The dentist is very ethical one he won't overcharge. He told me he has many singaporean patients, he asked me why so many singaporeans come to JB for treatment when our public dental is said to be...

It is easier to deny any problem exists than to define the problem clear so that's monitored. That has always been the PAP style but but if Malaysia buys some cheapo Brazilian made mssiles they will go all crazy excited and spend ten times more to counter it. Poverty is really no big...

Sorry I made a mistake in my posts. In Malaysian public dental clinic, the cost of treatment is RM$3 and not RM$1. RM$1 is for registration. Some malaysians are complaining it is too high and the waiting time of average 20 minutes is too long. (Read blogpost below) -----------------...

I'm nearing the Causeway on my Singapore-Johor Express bus. Will chat with you guys once I get back to Singapore. Don't you find it strange....our leaders always tell us that JB is an unsafe place full of crime unlike Singapore, yet one minister feels it is perfectly safe to put our elderly in...

You forget in Australia, they have a 1st world wage structure, in Singapore we have a 3rd world wage structure that necessitate the availability of low cost healthcare. Anyway I thought there are public dentists in Australia? ..maybe I'm mistaken.

Why the Republicans so opposed to Obama care when analysis showt tthat it will reduce the healthcare costs of American society tremendous once the initial costs borne by govt is paid out. One potent legislation in Obama care is insurance companies have to pay out 85% of premiums...

The only have dental nurse can do only simple procedures

My regular dentist is located near the Holiday Plaza. When I was young, my mom brought me to polyclinic for dental treatment. Because the PAP govt frowns upon subsidised dental treatment, instead of growing and improving the availabilty of such services they underinvested in it and force poor...

Shutdown all but confirmed. American people pay the price for voting in bad leaders. Now suffering starts. .....

Obamacare was the center piece of his 2007 and 2011 campaign ....the American people already voted and it was declared by Supreme court to be constitutional. If the Republicans don't like it, they can get their own men into office and the Senate to kill off Obama care instead of shutting down...
