@channelnewsasia: More Singaporeans are exploring healthcare options across the Causeway, drawn by cheaper treatments and the option to pay with MediSave. At one private hospital in Johor Bahru, the number of Singapore patients using MediSave has more than doubled since the pandemic. It may sound like a good deal, but how much could you actually save once other costs are factored in? CNA’s Sabrina Ng takes a closer look. #singapore #singaporenews #medisave #johorbahru

It reflects the failure of the Singaporean healthcare system to provide affordable medical services to its own citizens. But knowing how cunning the Singaporean government is at making things increasingly difficult for its citizens, it will reduce the withdrawal limit and implement new policies to minimise the opportunity.

people just want to stretch their dollar further let it rest at that. At the cost of inflating cost for people who actually still earn MYR. As the singaporean like to say hush hush don't spoil market

Maybe it’s about the doctors there knowing better and being more compassionate and not using you as a clinical study specimen

BS ! 100 percent increase… only those staying Jb will visit their hospital. Who would travel all the way there to seek medical care, if you are already unwell

90% are women and most are there for maternity-related treatments. Goes to show how well supported Singapore’s healthcare is for women. Look at the dwindling birth rate. How coincidental.
