Burdened by high rise in cost of insurance


I AM just shocked by the proposal to increase medical insurance premiums by between 40% and 70% next year. It makes me want to cancel my policy and start going to government hospitals.

However, I dread what would happen if I were to do so. The queue in government hospitals is long, the doctors are overworked, and the nurses have so many patients to attend to. Beds are also hard to come by.
