PhilHealth bleeding, reserves may go dry by 2022: Philippine Senate

In his report on the Senate Committee of the Whole’s investigation of corruption in the state insurer, Senate President Vicente Sotto III on Tuesday (Sept 2) called for a thorough review of PhilHealth’s financial life after one of its officials said it would no longer have a reserve fund by 2022.
