Isi artikel

This article examines health provisions in the context of social security in Singapore and argues that the principles underlying health care and old age provisions are compatible. The Central Provident Fund (CPF) and its health schemes such as Medisave and Medishield, complemented by Medifund, are depicted in the article as instrumental in encouraging people to save and manage their own health care in a self reliant manner. The CPF has another important dimension in promoting socialization between the old and young through family-oriented schemes, A communitarian element is also observed in both health policy and old age security as the government devises schemes to draw in a network of providers beyond employers and the state.
