HEALTHCARE PUBLIC FORUM

SELANGOR/KL HEALTHCARE PUBLIC FORUM

Why pay more and get less for 1Care?

The Federal government is introducing a new national healthcare system called 1Care, which
will force you to give up to 10% of your monthly household income as your contribution
under/via a national health insurance scheme.

What’s worse, after paying so much…….
• You cannot pick choose your own doctor. The government will assign one doctor for you. You still have to pay more when you see the doctor
• Your assigned doctor is budgeted to see you only 6 times a year
• You get only the cheapest not-original medicine
• You will not be covered for all illnesses especially expensive care under the insurance
• If you don’t like your assigned doctor and/or the medicine given, you’ll have to pay 
more from your own pocket to see another doctor and/or get better medicine.

Healthcare costs will shoot up! From RM 33.7 billion in 2009 to a proposed RM44.24 billion
a year with 1Care. It will cost so much but will it be a benefit or a burden?

Find out more about 1Care at this public forum, officiated by Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim, Menteri
Besar, Selangor.
