Government Should Not Leave it to Market Force

When it comes to medical charges, doctors have the upper hand.  Letting hospitals to freely charge patients without control will only spike up prices for patients especially when they know you bought medical insurance.

When doctors are pressure by their hospitals to make profits, then patients end up paying more.  If a doctors tell you that you need to take this expensive cure or you will be dead soon, how many patients dare defy their opinions even though it can wipe out their savings.

Please don't make HEALTH CARE a free market economy.

Health and social policy Adjunct Associate Professor Phua Kai Hong at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in the National University of Singapore said the financing structure for healthcare has evolved over the years because of policy changes and the growth of third-party insurers.

He said there used to be a guideline on what doctors could charge, and they had to justify it when charging higher fees.

But the guideline was scrapped 12 years ago "in the interests of the free market economy".

NUS Peeping Tom - Zero Tolerance Should Be Implemented

As a university student, I believe they are already mature enough to know what is the right or wrong thing to do.   The current system of two strike you are out is like a game.  If I am a NUS student and I know that the Uni will be lenient to me for my first offence, why not make used of the opportunity.  NUS NTU should brief new Uni students about their zero-tolerance policy on this matter so that new comers will think twice about mis-behaving as there will be consequences.
