The government sets limits on the use of Medisave for outpatient treatment for cancer and other critical illness.
I suggest that the limit should be removed for treatment in a public hospital or other approved facility.
In giving approval, the government should negotiate with the facility on the charges to be imposed for each treatment.
This approach will relieve the financial burden on the patient and also set control over the charges.
I do not like the cap that is set by the government on the use of Medisave as the patient does not have any choice but to foot the difference.
