More targeted, affordable dental care for seniors at Alexandra Hospital's new specialist clinic 

“Healthcare is a need and not a commodity,” said Dr. Gomez, to drive home the point that for-profit healthcare systems have failed to support citizens in the fringes of our society. It is noteworthy to mention what Dr. Chee Soon Juan said in his opening remarks, that some Singaporeans have told him, “it is better to die than to fall sick in Singapore.” He has taken heed and it seems like he has gone all out to ensure that no sick man goes untreated, no family needs to be financially burdened when their loved ones fall sick and most importantly, everyone in Singapore has access to basic healthcare.

“The family and loved ones are already under stress and anguish when someone dear falls ill, we certainly don’t need them to go through the indignity of having debt collectors chasing them for monies accumulated through medical bills,” Dr. Chee said. SDP’s healthcare plan is a total affront to the current practise of commercialization of healthcare in Singapore. With no representation in parliament, it makes one wonder why they are putting so much effort - it can’t be, as they put it, for PAP to plagiarize their plans. Or perhaps, it could be an indication of their larger plans, both for Singapore and SDP in 2016.

The proposal calls for a reform of the existing healthcare financing system to one that is universal, affordable and sustainable. It proposes a single-payer, national insurance system when the state assumes the major portion of the country’s healthcare expenditure.
Referencing to PM Lee Hsien Loong’s announcement during the National Day Rally speech in 2013 that contributions to Medisave will have to increase, the party asked if this meant Singaporeans will have to continue to shoulder the main bulk of the national healthcare expenditure with the increased contributions.

Subjecting seniors to "trainees" or what? And these days when the MIW says "Affordable" as in "Affordable Public Housing, my toe can't start laughing. Maybe I think $10K implant discount $50 OR what you think it is?
