Re: Should Singapore subsidise medical care?

Without doubt, gahmen must medically subsidise the lowest 10% of the
population. Afterall gahmen fucked up the whole healthcare vis a vis
job markets creating great mis-matches.

With GE coming they are doing lots of last minute window dressings
about job opportunities... for older workers and first-timers when
they promised it in last GE!!! Also their gahmen arms are busy getting
rid of older workers using outsourcing as excuses .... what is of
extending work span when the older workers are being axed by gahmen
and stat boards? Aren't they aware that they are shooting themselves
in the foot? Or are they trying to con the silent majority?????
