Private hospitals
My older relatives always go for public (restructured) hospitals whenever they need to be warded, some as subsidised patients and some as private patients.
Most of them have hospitalisation insurance. But they still choose SGH, TTSH and the like.
They say that once you go for private, the costs may balloon out of control and a lifetime of savings may be wiped out (even with insurance coverage).
Is it true?
I've never been hospitalised, but as I'm getting older, I need to prepare to decide between public and private healthcare one day.

For simple elective surgeries, I would go for private surgeons and private hospitals.
For complicated ailments, especially age-related ones, I think it's safer to go to restructured hospitals where medical equipment and machines are arguably newer and more advanced than private hospitals. The more important reason is that you don't know how long you're going to stay and how many tests and scans are to be done, so if you go for private, the costs can easily get out of hand.

the only thing good about private is the speed and customer service.
nothing beats the clinical science and equipment of RH. However, the waiting time is something to consider as RH is lean and always on verge of breaking down.
