This is not fake news. This is an opinion.
I get the impression that the cost of medical treatment has increased sharply during the past four years. The cost of a colonoscopy for subsidized patients was $250 in 2013. At my last visit to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, I was told that it would cost me nearly $1,000.
I checked the Ministry of Health website. It said that the average cost of this procedure at KTP Hospital based on last 12 months was $650. Did it increased so much during the past year? I will know in two days time, what my actual cost is.
I went for a laser surgery in the Singapore National Eye Center yesterday. The 6 minute procedure cost me $1,080.
I am quite dissatisfied with the Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong. Is he paying attention to this matter?

I have asked someone to carry out a research on the increase in cost for other medical treatment over the past 4 years.
In my book - Medical Care for the Elderly, I captured the average cost of the common treatments in 2013. I will see if the cost has increased sharply during this period.

Gan Kim Yong took over as minister for health in 2011. Has been neglected his work and allowed the charges to go up so much under his watch?
This is not fake news. It is an opinion. My facts may or may not be correct, but it is an honest opinion.
