Jeannette Chong-Aruldoss who heads NSP's legal clinic made the following appeal on her Facebook:

To my lawyer and non-lawyer friends: Our Free Legal Clinic aims to help needy Singaporeans who are struggling with legal issues. If you feel that you would like to be part of this effort, do send me a FB private message. More lawyers and helpers on board will mean that we can help more Singaporeans get through their difficult times. We will roster your attendances at our Clinic according to your schedule.

政府国会卫生委员会,对于10名获津贴病患中,有二人未获终身健保全额索赔的情况表示关注,对此该委会主席谢世儒要求卫生部,列出那些没有获全额赔偿的受津贴病患医疗费明细,以供参考。 终身健保在2015年推出时,旨在协助至少90巴仙的获津贴患者,能减轻较大的医疗负担。不幸的是,过去三年,显示有多达20巴仙的病患并未获得全额保障。 卫生部企业通讯总监林蕊冰(Lim Siok Peng译音),于本月8日在《海峡时报》撰文指出,八成病患医药费索偿仍在终身健保索偿限额内,且十之有九的医疗索偿限额约在230元内以内。 林总监指出,其余的医疗开销则涉及较复杂的手术或个案,或者病患收入较高使可获津贴较低。 根据卫生部的回应,可见有20巴仙获津贴病患需要为医疗费自掏腰包。对此,政府国会卫生委员会主席谢世儒医生,向卫生部讨说法,要求列出那些没有获全额赔偿的受津贴病患医疗费明细,以供参考。 应检讨索赔条件 他告诉《海时》,如果有超过10巴仙病患的索赔都超过限额,就有必要检讨终身健保的索赔条件。 他也提及,当初在国会辩论通过终身健保时,卫生部曾指出所制定的索赔限额,乃是参考过去的医疗成本等数据。但放诸今日,肯定已不符合现时的实际成本和需求。 他也将有关探讨关全民保险保障是否足够的提问,提呈给国会在下周一讨论。 卫生部对超过2500种治疗和手术设索赔限额,也限制可以从健保储蓄支付的额度。目前,从健保储蓄承担的医药费比终身健保保障的更多。…
