Elderly Delivery Rider Stuck With Hefty Medical Bills After Getting Into Accident

[covertbriar]

An elderly Foodpanda delivery rider named Uncle was left severely injured after an accident. At 61 years old, he still has to depend on making deliveries for a living. Due to his injury, he can’t go to work and therefore has no income.


Uncle Roger tried pleading for help with Foodpanda but didn’t know that when he was required to sign a form to get insured. Now, he has to pay off hefty medical bills despite having no monthly income. The whole situation left him clueless and helpless.


Prominent opposition politician Kenneth Jeyaretnam said:

“$1,000 of medical expenses and $50 for each day in hospital is nothing when faced with serious let alone life changing injuries. MOM should require food delivery companies to have better insurance but we should also have universal health care and disability benefits. Singaporeans get a raw deal from their Gov despite paying a lot in tax.

Reform Party wants to know why despite having so much Medisave balances that are still growing, Singaporeans still have to pay so much out of their own pockets for medical expenses.”

If the government can’t do enough for the most disadvantaged groups in our society, why exactly are do we keep them in power?

There are some misunderstandings whenever it comes to medical cost or maybe it was done on purpose KNN actually the real killer with sg medical cost is the after discharge treatments KNN medisave is leemited onlee to $300 flexi medisave that can be used per year KNN bear learn all by cash even you have alot of money in your medisave and medishield will not cover KNN

Medishield is onlee good for long hospital stay I.e the longer you stay the lesser you pay after paying the yearlee leeductibles KNN for short stay after you pay the leeductibles medishield doesn't even kickin KNN
For wah Cow case probablee he stayed for a long period and it was a stay that happened for at least 2nd time of the year I.e he already paid the leeductibles or maybe his insurance coverage doesn't need leeductibles I.e the expensive kind KNN

Hence Medisave/Medishield is useless unless you are hospitalised for a long period of time KNN

Company is only obligated to provide work compensation when it is work related injury sustained. They are also obligated to provide medical leaves and other leaves. If all are exhausted, they have the right to end contract with the staff. Company is not a charity organization, they need to feed other employees as well.

As in this case, company had provided all necessary tools and trainings to work safely. Unforeseen Accidents bound to happen, that's why it is called accident. To further protect yourself, you should buy additional insurance. If cannot afford or because of ignorance does not matter. There are many ways to look for help. Stop blaming others because of your helplessness.
