Introduction

We often read about the ever rising costs of healthcare in Singapore. Most of just shake our heads and thank our lucky stars that we’ve never had to go through major surgery or fight off a life-threatening illness.

Yet, every Singaporean can recount a tale of a relative or a friend who struggled to pay their medical bills when they fell ill. It is hard to imagine when we’re young, fit and healthy, of a day when we might fall sick and be unable to work. But what happens then? Should the day come when you find yourself ill and unable to work.

That’s where health insurance comes in. Health insurance is a shield that allows you to protect yourself and your loved ones from the threat of ruined health leading to ruined wealth, removing the financial burden from yourself when you’re ill and allowing yourself to focus on recovering without having to worry about money. This is also the most important insurance coverage that everyone should have.

How Much Cover Should I Get?

There are however some factors that you may want to take into account.

Are you the sole breadwinner in your family?
Do you have any history of medical illnesses in your family?
What kind of financial impact would it have on you, if you weren’t able to work for a prolonged period?
Should you be unable to look after yourself, is there anyone who could act as a caregiver?
Do you have any outstanding debts/ financial obligations?
