A cost that many can ill afford

Quick Summary:

HEALTHCARE insurance and takaful policyholders are expected to pay more for treatment of covered illnesses on top of their monthly premiums but this does not seem to reflect the "whole-of-nation” approach.

A co-payment option will be offered by insurance and takaful operators from September onwards.

It became the subject of concerned inquiries by policyholders to their insurance or takaful agents, but there appears to have been no other communication on the matter.
