don't rely on company'one too much... if you are healthy now, buy for yourself and family if you can afford it.
if you change company in the future, the new company might not have insurance for you. and if you have pre-existing condition in the future, then it's going to be hard to buy insurance at that time. |

Nope you don't need, but if you have extra money monthly just take a standalone medical card it's cheaper to cover the risk of your losing your job. And also took life insurance for urself if you the only source of income for your family in case of death or permenant disability.
Keyword here is if you have extra money |

First thing to ask urself.Do u think medical card is good to have? Please advice. Im noob at this. 1. Does ur company GUARANTEE your employment and grant your family free insurance even if you are retired / sick with Critical Illness / unable to work / permanently disabled / unemployed / retrenched ? 2. If the answer above is No for any 1 of the item, then yes, you should get urself a personal medical card insurance. AIA has family plan for medical card @ affordable premium. |

See your company trend whether they will expel a person if they have medical issue or will help to retain the employee for a period of 6-12months.
My friend got expelled from my ex company due to diabetes under the reason of "unfit to work", he can't control his diabetes very well and it makes him to take MC very frequent. |

QUOTE(mozact89 @ Feb 2 2018, 11:27 AM) Depends on your current budget, good to sit down and start calculating all your current income and expenses and how much you're willing to allocated for your insurance then you'll know whether with savings or without savings is more suitable for you. |

Not sure about your age so can't comment on the premium for you. As for the coverage, starts from 100k yearly with no lifetime limit. Which is good for a basic coverage but if you want to enhance it further, can add on another 1 mil on top of the 100k to make it 1.1 mil. Premium difference won't be alot, probably 90 - 100/mth (assuming based on the figure you gave) |
