Why do we need two separate schemes?

I met two elderly men at the bus stop in North Bridge Road yesterday. They recognized me.

Man - Mr. Tan, why do we need to have CareShield? Can it be merged with MediShield? I am confused about two policies and having to pay two different premiums.

TKL - I agree with you. It is better to have one scheme that provide both types of benefits.

A few days earlier, I met a young couple in their thirties. They have not heard about CareShield. They will be asked to contribute to CareShield when it is launched in one or two years time.

Many people will be asking many questions when their money is being deducted.

The more scheme, the more confusion.
