Reallocate the sports budget, especially soccer, to the hospital. don't wait until Covid-21; only then will you appreciate your medical professionals.

What's wrong with calling football soccer? The ball we kick around, the term originated from England, the word "soccer". If you say Football in America, it means a totally differnt game.

If taking budget of soccer isn't enough, just delete the whole ministry; no one is going to notice.

medical insurance hike because doctors charge anything to you... they charge anything to you because you are covered by insurance. medical insurance needs to buy new car so they need to charge you increased premium..

How is it scam? Insurance companies are already regulated by BNM lah. Private hospitals on the other hand are totally beyond government control

So that's why they delay casemix implementation in KKM to 2027 and concentrate on forcing it into private hospital in 2026 to do casemix and have them integrate MHIT government insurance to use a fixed DRG-based payment, subsidized by BNM with additional patient's own KWSP eligible for M40 and below. this is going for more transparency, and standardize the price, to curb the private medical institution inflation.

well its not a scam, but its a vicious cycle of inflation
the higher the medical cost, the higher the insurance premium, the higher the demand, the higher the medical cost again and so on, lead to further escalation

Higher premium leads to higher demand? LOL

Insurance companies actually prefer not increasing price too much because it will lead to people dropping their policies. It's actually happening today.

When they underwrite policies, they already take into consideration the profits for the future. It's stable and consistent profits. When medical inflation happened, it cause all their plans to go haywire. Their projected profits will shrink and it might even lead to losses. That's why repricing happens.

However, they cannot don't reprice as it will hit them worse. Instead, they just have to bear with people cancelling their policies.

higher demand in the insurance for people recognizing the risk of being uninsured
and therefore insurance company rise the price even more seeing that they can
and therefore private hospital rise the price even more seeing that they can
and therefore, more people recognizing the risk of being uninsured
and that create the positive feedback loop

Higher demand for insurance does not mean higher cost due to limited goods being chased by high demands. Insurance does not have goods. Insurance is shared risk model not goods production model.

Do you think regulated by BNM ia a big deal 🤦‍♀️ most of the time BNM is under the direction now of the useless BMX who only acts when his position is being threatened by the ppl sentiments

Otherwise is business as usual for insurance companies who just playing along the rules to appease the govt

Insurance should be regulated by a bipartisan parties instead
