Make Public Hospital Bills

The Health Ministry will compel private hospitals to make hospital bills in private hospitals public so that they can make Medisave claims for their patients. This can allow patients to compare between the public and private hospitals. The private sectors of the hospitals bill the patients in a complicated manner, thus this measure to make hospital bills is done.

I think that this measure can allow Singaporeans to have more alternatives for choosing healthcare. Also, families with lower financial income can get better healthcare without having to worry for medical expenses because Medisave can cover the medical bills. Also, some people that use healthcare in private hospitals may not know how the bill is charged. Therefore, if the change is implemented, all the citizens will get to benefit for it allows us to know more about public hospital bills.
