Duty of the government

The eye clinic in KTP hospital prescribed 5 bottles of 15 ML Refresh Tears to me. I paid $25. The cost is $5 per bottle.
I checked online for the retail price at the pharmacy. I was surprised that it retailed for $15.20.
The government probably bought it at a lower price due to bulk purchase and gave a further subsidy to the patients.
In this instance, the government has done what it should be doing, i.e. to provide the benefit to the citizens through bulk purchasing.
They should adopt the same approach to many other cost of living. That is their duty.

one glaringly shortfall that needs immediate attention is the shortage of public dental services. to book a dental appointment for singhealth government dental services, it can wait as long as one year, crazy rite?

medical services in sg are profiteering

I now do not have to find excuses about going to a wedding for acquaintances who needs to fill up tables to ten. I don't have to sit at the wedding tables with strangers for four hours while the couple flaunts what guest assume they can afford. The only people who benefits from these celebrations are the restaurants. How many can afford to pay $100~ $250 per head just to have a meal? Those who do not like the truth, it's OK. A superficial society.
