    Idk about others, but Singapore doesn’t really have socialized healthcare.

    We pay for it with our salaries into an account and the hospitals use that when necessary.

    But we have all the luxury to have personal insurance and it doesn’t really cost too much if you have a proper job and all. Coverage is pretty decent too.

      They probably meant universal health care, which can be implemented in a lot of different ways.

      That’s not true at all. While Medishield is the basic healthcare insurance solutions and Medisave comes from your CPF, Medifund is an endowment fund that works like a financial safety net to help needy Singaporeans who cannot afford hospital expenses despite Medisave and MediShield.
