Comment on "Growing pains of high healthcare costs"-The Edge

http://www.theedgemarkets.com/my/article/growing-pains-high-healthcare-costs

Like what i shared in class
1. Medical Cost increases nearly 15% yearly compare global medical inflation of 10%,which means it will double in every 5 years.
2. Government's interfere on medical cost is needed
3. Government need to come up a "National Medical Scheme" soon for all but must avoid making the same mistakes in "Sihat Malaysia" Scheme.
4. It is a known fact that Government Hospital equipped with best medical equipment/facilities, fresh and origin medicine/vaccine and some sophisticated medical treatment which cannot find in Private Hospital and of course long queue in order to have the treatment is unavoidable.
5. Those who are government servant (especially first class), organ/blood donor and Infectious Diseases patience will have the first priority of accessing Government Hospital's treatment.
6. Having a sufficient coverage of personal medical card will allow you have more choice (Hospital, Doctor and etc) when needed
