How Singapore Solved Healthcare

As a Singaporean living here for more than a decade , I can say that I this is true

I cannot think of any other reason why Mugabe would not fly to Europe. lol

social security is not a pyramid scheme, ffs.

In my fictional world, Malaysia health care is free for citizens only but for foreigners are like this

In my fictional world, most countries already do this

In my fictional world, Malaysia Surpasses Singapore in every area

The truth the west won’t accept: no health care system no matter how well funded or well trained can out perform a population that insists on easing primarily processed food, glorifies obesity, and builds an urban design based on cars rather than on walking, cycling, and public transportation.

The “cure” is prevention and lifestyle not the latest drugs.

Anywhere, anytime.. The nation that head is competent with little corruption is doing well almost everything. They can select best things as much as they can. As a Korean, I think democracy is not that important. Democracy is just one method of adminstering nation. In the case of Korean dictatorship era, that times could do better for economic growth and welfare. so In that times, Korea could make one of best healthcare insurance system in the world. but Nowaday, My nation is waved by many populism things. so, The subsidy and welfare expenses have been more rising everyday, the less having a effect.

Any country that doesn't have millions of leeches sitting on the porch, spending their day scratching lotto tickets and drinking beer can afford decent healthcare for it's citizens. In America, the ones who pay taxes have to support the ones who don't. From healthcare to free food, from free daycare to free cellphones. The percentage of people contributing to the pot is taking a backseat to those who don't. It will come crumbling down soon

Singapore healthcare system sucks. Frankly Lot of bright minds in singapore are wasted. Allopathic medicines cannot cure diseases

I'm considering moving to singapore for their healthcare. I want to pay my fair share of taxes and not be fleeced by hospital execs here in the USA. I'm worried all my hard work will be for nothing if I get something like cancer in the USA.

The US should 1) outlaw employer sponsored healthcare. This removes choice and competition. And 2) go to all High Deductible Healthcare Plans with compulsory savings. And 3) all payer rate setting and cost controls.

The costs will come down precipitously.

The US should replicate the Singaporean system with health savings accounts and laws that force price transparency onto hospitals. Oh, and get rid of bureaucracy and red tape. You would not believe the amount of time doctors spend doing paperwork instead of caring for their patients.

Bernie Sanders voters should move to Singapore then

Here in Hong Kong, we have objectively the most efficient healthcare systems in the world. But for us it doesn't really feel like it when you wait for 5-6 hours for your turn in a public hospital cause old people go there to enjoy free healthcare for their chipped toenail

BTW in each bill at least 50% of it is heavily subsidies by the Government, the other 50% of the bill is covered by medisave, medishield.

Class C wards are excellent, surprisingly.

Singapore's Healthcare is the best. I went to emergency there and it only cost me about $80 USD. Hospitalized for a week cost $5000 USD and fully paid by Singapore insurance compare to the USA, cost me $5000 to visit emergency for my an IV drip. What a terrible healthcare system in this USA.

I wonder whether Singaporeans experience similar long wait times to receive healthcare as Europeans.

Singapore is practical and smart in decision making

Im here for IELTS hahaha

This thing seemed to try hard to make Singapore look good. I'm not saying it's "bad", but you can absolutely go bankrupt over major conditions like cancer in Singapore just like the US. You can come out with a $7000USD bill for a 3 night stay in a decent hospital. The same bill in the US for the same thing would be more like $50k, but in both scenarios, it's really hurting lower income people. Less financial pain doesn't equal no financial pain. Lots of pain, and lots of your money being tied up by the government and subject to random rule changes. A lot of this isn't new or special to the US either. Bush attempted to reorder healthcare in a similar fashion with "Health Savings Accounts" which are still in use by many. It didn't work in the US because the problem isn't the manner in which you store your money, the problem is the hospitals price gouge and no party attempts to stop it. Singapore has better ways to try to control hospital pricing, but at the end of the day, it still can cost a lot of money. The Sheild plans shown were the lowest price options that cover very little as well. Rose tinted video.

At 35, my cpf ordinary account could afford me my own home

>government mandated savings
lmao who wouldve thought that the solution to bills is to save your fucking money and not spend it all

Sigapore likes to be in a middle, for example this video, national relations, the political compass and in fact singapores location itself is near the equator which we know as the middle of the earth between north and south

Watching this as a Swedish politician like Patrick Bateman looks at Paul allens card

population just a bit more than half that of New York City.
No immigration to speak in the 'OpenBorders" sense of US/EU policy.

An informative video as always. However, one small point. Free at the point of care does not always equate to long queues. Q.V. The NHS from C.2000 to 2010. If a government decides to underfund any health service, or wilfully encourage mismanagement and inefficiency be it due to ideology or incompetence, then regardless of the chosen funding model, queues will likely increase and outcomes for patients worsen.

I am sudanese and my mother is a radiologist, she works in a private hospital and in public one. The wages in the public hospitals are so low that she sometimes forgets to claim it and just works charity. Hell she can't fill up her gas tank for week for a full month of work's paycheck

social security would work if it a was pyramid scheme if the pyramid keeps getting taller, in theory. Problem, is that it will look more like a diamond.

What you conveniently leave out of the equation in Singapore— it has some of the lowest crime rates in the world. Singapore has the world’s most strict/severe drug laws. The single mother rate is also about 5x less than that of the US. So— the reason public housing can be successful is because they have rid their society of the destructive degenerates plaguing much of the world. Nearly all the homeless in the USA would be hung to death in Singapore.

I think it’s easier for Singapore to have quality cheaper healthcare because as a country Singapore is far less obese and unhealthy compared to the US.

My wife had food poisoning back in 2019, and I rushed her to the emergency ward in Singapore General Hospital. The doctor was professional, polite, and thorough. He did order a barage of tests and prescript a bunch of meds to make sure my wife will be alright, but it got us nervous cuz that much tests and meds could easily rack up at least $1k easy. Turns out, it was only SGD 100+, and we weren't even Singaporean. We were just dumb-founded on how affordable Singapore's healthcare is

Well, back to the good old days for any race of 'C' class wards hospital. Hence, the Medishield Life to build more 'Community Hospitals' where 'clinical trail run' for new vaccines and medicines. Medical history repeats itself. 'C' stands for 'Community' for those aged, sick and penniless of their lacking educational background of 'self-employed' of their unsteady income. Most are 'odd job labourers'

Every analysis of every public policy question ignores the most important part: culture.

Americans have a culture of laziness, comfort and food addiction. Our healthcare systems will always be expensive because of this culture. Singaporeans have a culture of hard-work and dignity and hold each other to a high standard. We cannot improve healthcare in the United States until we improve our culture of hedonism and irresponsibility.

No healthcare system has everything figured out. You obviously missed the fundamental idea that healthcare is always evolving and always changing.

To say that it’s as simple as “solved” is to say that there is no room for improvement or that there aren’t issues with any given healthcare system.

You’re blatantly wrong, just in your title.

Thank you for sharing this informative video I really like it.

Because they getting the smartest doctors trained by Malaysia

Most american spending on medicaid were meant to used for research purposes.its a different system where the money were spent on innovation.

this is genius

Recently went to Singapore for an internship at NUS, and was simply amazed at the infrastructure this country has to offer. It was truly beautiful and the people were very kind as well. Hopefully my country will one day be like Singapore.

ahhhhhh googled nebula.... saw it is an app..... not intrested... i think thats the common way

Are this subisidises per year or month?

When I was traveling I received a bill for a 1 night ward and ER visit amounting to almost 1500 USD
When I would probably be charged only less than 500 bucks (SGD) in my own country… I was shocked
