That is patently false. In the example from this thread, the PAP government had directly subsidized $250k of the baby's medical bills. That's the price of a small HDB flat.

Many people actually share my views. The lives of those belonging to people of a different religion or race are of far smaller value.
Why else do you think we rejoice when we read about our fellow co-religionists slaughtering infidels, and crying out for human rights and justice when infidels so much as as smack one of our own brethen?

Anyone with half a brain cell should know this is a pro-PAP shill FB page. A worthy successor of the now-defunct Fabrications About the PAP.
Everyone love Pap.
Anyway you all can stop now as Pap already won.
You all should save your energy to promote when next election.
Hopefully we are not replaced by foreigners

slaughtering anybody's child or anyone is not right to me.
I am surprised your religion teaches you to rejoice when someone slaughters "infidels". What religion do you believe?

Not yours for sure.
What I quoted is mainstream religious thought in the middle east, gulf, pakistan, 60% of jiuhu, amongst the migrant minorities in Europe and our islamist apologists here in the forum. It's the hard truth.
I am glad that unlike you, i embrace a faith that loves every life, cares for the poor, the sick and the orphans. Unlike you and some govts, we care for the least, the lost and the last

Long-term health effects of premature birth
6-7 minutes
KEY POINTS
How can premature birth affect a baby’s health?
Premature birth is birth that happens too soon, before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Babies born this early may have more health problems or need to stay in the hospital longer than babies born later. These premature babies may need special medical care in a newborn intensive care unit (also called NICU). Each year, about 1 in 10 babies in the United States is born prematurely.
Prematurity can cause problems for babies throughout their lives. The earlier a baby is born, the more likely she is to have health problems. Some of these problems may not show up for several years, even into adulthood. Finding and treating health problems as early as possible—and preventing premature birth when possible—can help babies lead longer, healthier lives.
How can premature birth affect a baby’s brain?
Premature birth can lead to long-term intellectual and developmental disabilities for babies. These are problems with how the brain works. They can cause a person to have trouble or delays in:
Premature birth can cause a baby to have lung and breathing problems, including:
Premature birth can lead to these health problems:

How can premature birth affect a baby’s brain?
Premature birth can lead to long-term intellectual and developmental disabilities for babies. These are problems with how the brain works. They can cause a person to have trouble or delays in:
- Physical development
- Learning
- Communicating
- Taking care of himself
- Getting along with others
- Cerebral palsy (also called CP). This is a group of conditions that affects the parts of your brain the brain that control your muscles. This can cause problems with movement, posture (standing up straight) and balance.
- Behavior problems. Some studies show that premature babies may be more likely to have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (also called ADHD) than babies born on time. ADHD is a condition that makes it hard for a person to pay attention and control his behavior.
- Mental health conditions. Premature babies may be more likely to have anxiety or depression later in life. Depression is a medical condition in which strong feelings of sadness last for a long time and interfere with your daily life. It needs treatment to get better. Anxiety is when you feel worried or fearful and these feelings affect your daily life, like school work, jobs or relationships with others.
- Neurological disorders. These conditions affect the brain, spinal cord and nerves throughout the body.
Premature birth can cause a baby to have lung and breathing problems, including:
- Asthma. This is a health condition that affects the airways and can cause breathing problems.
- Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (also called BPD). This is a lung disease that can develop in premature babies as well as babies who have treatment with a breathing machine. BPD can cause swelling and scarring in the lungs. Babies with BPD are more likely to get lung infections like pneumonia. Over time, the lungs usually get better, but a premature baby may have asthma-like symptoms or long-term lung damage throughout his life.
Premature birth can lead to these health problems:
- Dental problems. Premature babies may have delayed tooth growth, changes in tooth color or teeth that grow crooked or out of place as they get older.
- Hearing loss. Children born prematurely are more likely to have hearing loss than children born on time.
- Infections. Premature babies often have trouble fighting off germs because their immune systems are not fully developed. This means they can get infections more easily. Infections can still be a problem as your baby grows.
- Problems with the intestines. These problems may be caused by necrotizing entercolitis (also called NEC). This is a common but very serious disease that can affect a newborn baby’s intestines. Intestines are long tubes that are part of your digestive system. While most babies with NEC get better, some may have ongoing intestinal problems, like scarring or blockage in the intestine. Surgery may be needed to treat these problems. Some babies who’ve had surgery to remove part of the intestine may have trouble absorbing nutrients from food.
- Vision problems, like retinopathy of prematurity (also called ROP). This is an eye disease that affects many premature babies. ROP happens when a baby’s retinas don’t fully develop in the weeks after birth. The retina is the nerve tissue that lines the back of the eye. ROP usually affects both eyes. Children born prematurely are more likely than children born on time to have vision problems.
In Ontario, the patient probably pays nothing.

He pays nothing because other people are footing the bill for an ailment that has nothing to do with them.
It's the same in NZ a bunch of bloody losers destroy their livers binge drinking and I have to pay for their liver transplants.
That may be a better alternative.
Otherwise, the recovered infant may continue to need ongoing medical intervention.
A govt does not print money. Every govt collects taxes and allocates these taxes for various uses. The pap govt chooses to use tax monies to build grandiose projects and white elephants like Sports Hub, Gardens By the Bay, Jewel, etc instead of using taxes to care for the sick, poor and disadvantaged.
So how a govt cares for the citizens hospital bill and cares for the fatherless and the elderlies reflect on the values of the govt.
No. He pays nothing because the Canadian Govt cares more for the sick rather than build grandiose and wasteful projects like $1.7B shopping mall and creating high paying jobs for cronies. It is a matter of govt allocating and spending money wisely

No governments care for anybody. They do what it takes to get votes and it's easy because the money they dole out isn't theirs to begin with.
If I was in a position to collect billions annually I'd be very generous too.
The PAP gets votes without having to pay peasants so of course they use the money somewhere else.
Any govt which uses unfair, unclean and unequal means would have gotten 90% of the popular votes. PAP managed only 61% on 10 Jul.
Are you saying that PAP uses fair, clean and equal means?

This proves that the PAP is absolutely fair and scrupulously clean.
This proves, as independent analysts said, that the Opposition and Singaporeans won big at GE 2020. Go figure out why PAP actually lost big despite getting 61%.
