Have you ever checked how many of these foreign workers actually pay the rate for the foreigners in our public health facilities. I can tell you not many of them pay, they just get the treatment first and 'promise' to pay later. NO foreigners including foreign workers had ever been rejected by the public hospitals. The MOH continue to treat them despite they are not paying those rate and the amount of their debt to MOH is in millions. Do you know the UNHCR is slow consuming our health resources because they are getting our health care FREE. 30% of deliveries in Klang Valley public hospitals are from UNHCR refugee and they pay nothing. Their cost is by our tax payer. On top of that MOH also treated lots of illegal foreign workers.<br /><br />On paper, the gov may seems trying to impose 1st class rate but this 1st class rate is actually the 3rd class rate for private hospitals. Moreover, the public health facilities never reject these foreigners even they can't pay the bill. The gov just simply put them as bad debt.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098695743818546657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27256617.post-29295673910679773842011-01-16T12:08:49.292+08:002011-01-16T12:08:49.292+08:00In 2006, I believe that employers of migrant worke...In 2006, I believe that employers of migrant workers paid about RM2 billion in levy to the Malaysian government. The levy paid for each migrant is far higher than the amount of income tax paid by Malaysians.<br /><br />Hence, there should be same rates for migrant workers - and let us not just simply, and rather unreasonably lump all foreigners into the ONE category, and insist that they all pay the same. <br /><br />Ng, name calling is really not required.
