AFTER the massive whacking of Barisan Nasional (BN)'s bid to introduce the 1Care national seizure intrigue (NHS), let's demeanour at the thought from the opposite as well as some-more certain perspective.
The Health Ministry has confirmed which 1Care would entail imperative monthly contributions from all Malaysians meaning, the supervision is starting for your pockets, despite profitable all kinds of taxes as well as service charges.
It is intensely illogical, revolting to say the least, for the "caring" supervision to even think of asking the rakyat to obey 10% of their monthly income to await 1Care.
Trying to introduce the seizure caring intrigue for the rakyat is the eminent bid as well as idea. But the functions of the intrigue stinks.
For the people or for the cronies
It is acknowledged globally which the Canadian Health Programme is honestly pro-rakyat with no loopholes for any chance of mismanagement as well as mishandling.
Any event to couple 1Care with any local or foreign word as well as reinsurance company will be the disaster. This linkage can usually lead to sum commercialisation, thus creating reduction as well as additional clauses in the programme policies.
Also, any reinsurance will lead to invisible out-flow of outrageous amounts of supports to foreign land.
Malaysians need the real seizure programme as well as there is already the successfully tested seizure programme in Canada, so why opt for an inferior UK-NHS scheme?
The most important question: Is 1Care for the ! rakyat o r for word companies backed by cronies of those in the corridors of power?
In Canada the employed, the self-employed, the unemployed, the rich the bad all get the same top turn of healing treatment. No one is denied correct healing caring due to lack of money. The Canadian complement allows its adults to collect their own doctors, go see whichever alloy they wish to see, as well as additional billing i.e. additional charges by the alloy is NOT allowed. (No gravy for BN cronies, we see!).
The seizure caring complement covers all simple healing caring together with doctors, surgery, sanatorium stays, etc. There is no extent on how most times adults can see the alloy in the year or extent to the price of our healing treatment. Whatever is necessary? For example, the Canadian sees his alloy as well as gets laboratory tests once every 3 months on the unchanging basement as well as not the penny out of his or her pocket. Or if one feels the little aches as well as pains, he or she can go see the physical therapist or the chiropractor as well as it is all covered.
Canadians who opt to get any additional healing caring not covered, such as cosmetic operation or traditional Chinese healing consultation or get pain-killer treatment, they have to compensate the first 20% of their income as well as the rest are taxation deductable.
The poor
Upon doing of 1Care, who will afterwards caring for the bad as well as the marginalised population when the private as well as open healthcare corporatisation contest for business as well as profits?
Consider:
> Public hospitals as well as clinics are right away service-driven though on corporatisation or privatisation, they have to be profit-driven;
> So who will offer the people in remote places? and
> Who will offer the really bad people?
Consider the following hypothetical situations:
What happens when the s! upervisi on introduces 1Care? The total complement of eccentric one-stop ubiquitous practitioners will be restructured as well as converted into 1Care clinics similar to the UK NHS ubiquitous practitioner system.
Before
Ali has been pang from skin rashes for most years. He has to see his alloy once the month to get treatment. That would mean he will have to see his alloy 12 times the year usually for this illness. What if he has alternative illnesses?
Now
But now, Ali's alloy has allocated usually the check equivalent to 6 visits the year, regardless of how most times Ali would need for his yearly treatment. What happens then? A rationing complement will kick in. If the alloy sees Ali as well most time, his "P4P" (Pay for Performance) profile will be bad as well as he will be paid less.
To start with, Ali will probably cannot usually walk in as well as expect to be treated. He will have to make an appointment. There will be the prolonged watchful list. What if Ali needs to be treated with colour with colour for fever or the little unpleasant joints? He will also have to wait for his appointment. If he cannot wait as well as wants evident diagnosis from an additional alloy he will have to compensate on his own. This is what the NHS UK complement is charity its patients.
Lim has an appointment to see his alloy over the knee ache. Just before his appointment, he has an ingrown toe spike which has turn painful. At the clinic, after his alloy treats him for his knee ache, he asks his alloy if he could demeanour into his ingrown nail. His alloy says "No, the complement does not concede me to do that. You contingency make an additional appointment. This revisit we can usually provide as well as check for your knee ache. 1Care will accuse me of over-servicing my patients. we have no management to make any discretion, all is by SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). This is what the NHS UK com! plement is similar to today.
Muthu lives in the remote rubber estate. One day he had chest suffering as well as went to the circuitously 1Care clinic. He has red blood vigour problems since immature as well as has had fits. A sanatorium assistant saw him. Because of the change of his medications to the cheapest not-the-original medications, his red blood vigour went out of control as well as his seizures returned. He grown the deadly stroke as well as died. This is what is function when essential original medications are replaced with the cheapest .The cheapest medications are not indispensably the most appropriate for the studious as well as certainly not the safest.
Every income man contingency get the 5-9% deduction from his income to fund this scheme. This income is taken as well as gone for good even if we do not see the doctor.
Do we still wish such the rotten deal? Don't we think the supervision is taking us for the ride?
