Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced changes to MediShield, which will be renamed MediShield Life, at the National Day Rally:
▪ Coverage will be for life, instead of up to 90 years now.
▪ Coverage will be universal and will include those who have dropped out and those with pre-existing illnesses.
▪ Coverage will be higher for large hospital bills.
▪ Coverage will be compulsory.
All these are nice. But, as PM Lee warned, "It may cost you a bit more, but it can be done."
Isn't it rather premature to announce the proposed changes without having already looked into the most important aspect — cost?
