My parents haven't been feeling great over the past months. I guess this is something that everyone will face as they advance in age. The medical bills come up to quite a lot. In addition to that, supplements are not cheap either. In fact, they are even more expensive that medication!

My parents do not have insurance to their name so it is my concern that healthcare costs is rising in the country and every little test run would be at least RM100. Of course, one could say that we should go to public hospitals if we could not afford it but let's just say that it's not suitable for everybody.

I just hope that as a daughter, if they need money for medical expenses, I would be able to provide for them. The worst thing that could happen is to know that something could be done if only one could fork out X amount of money.

When my late friend, Boon, had cancer, he told me that his cancer medication came up to RM7000 per month and even if one could afford that, the medicine is so scarce that he had a tough time procuring it.
