Medishield and Private Shield
Take part in this survey
This article explains why it is better to be insured under Medishield, compared to Private Shield, especially for the elderly and retired people. The consumer pays a lower premium and a lower co-payment under Medishield (by going to subsidized wards) and get a similar quality of medical care.

I like to ask consumers to read my book, Practical Guide on Financial Planning, to be educated about insurance and investment. Please send questions to me after you have bought and read my book.

Good manners, not laws, key to web privacy
British Home Office minister Damian Green has said
it was not up to government to stop people invading the privacy of others
by posting information, photos or films of them online.
He wanted the state to intrude less into people's lives.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11472687
My view
It is difficult for an individual person to take action against another person who invades privacy. The Government should have people who can attend to these complaints. They can write to the alleged offender and ask them to remove the offending material. If the offender refuses, the matter can be taken by the next step. We cannot expect the citizens to engage a lawyer (which is costly). This is why the Government is elected to run the country.

How to Stop Rogue Automatic Payments A
look at consumers' rights when a company won't stop
billing your credit card or siphoning money from your debit card or checking accounts.
(Don't miss Readers' Comments)
http://bucks.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/10/04/how-to-stop-rogue-automatic-payments/
My view
A company that makes unjustified deduction should be considered as cheating and should be prosecuted. This will stop the bad practice. If it is a mistake, they can apologize and remedy the situation. But, we need to have the authority taking the responsibility to attend to this matter. They cannot reduce their manpower and gave the excuse that they are saving cost. It is the duty of the authority to stop cheating.

Investment scams
It’s not hard to find the hottest investment scams.
Just read the business headlines...
State securities cops are spotting some compelling pitches
that are trapping investors all over the country.
http://blogs.reuters.com/deep-pocket/2010/10/04/top-investment-scams-gone-wild/
My view
The Police should employ more people who can have the time to pursue these investment scams. This will create a few additional jobs for the investigators. It will make the economy more efficient as it prevents a lot of people finding employment by participating in these investment scams.

Global economy need to be fixed
I read about the inability of the US economy to create jobs to reduce the unemployment rate. Many countries are now devaluing their currency to increase competitiveness. They are also reducing interest rate to near zero, causing cheap money to flow to Asian countries, causing asset bubbles. This will bring further turmoil to the global economy and financial market.
There are some talks about fixing the global economy. It is not easy. The current system is rotten and cannot be fixed easily. The root of this problem is ....... make a guess! Give your views in this comment. I will write my views later.

Home insurance and damage by falling tree
Hi Mr Tan,
Due to the recent heavy rainfall and floods in Singapore that caused trees to fall, I have been trying to buy home assurance to cover for fallen trees. But in vain. Only one underwriter seem to indicate vaguely its "coverage or non-coverage" for falling trees when it repeatedly quoted its policy on "insured perils" and its corresponding definitions.
To a layman like me, I read these legal jargons as ambiguous and deceptive. I wrote to the GIA and they are equally evasive. They simply cannot explain in layman terms my simple qn: "if a tree falls on my house, will the insurance cover for the damage?"
A simple question and yet no direct simple answer. But if I buy the cover and a tree falls, then only they will tell me a direct answer to my simple question.
And their answer will be "No, it does not cover because fallen trees do not come under what is defined as "insured perils". Why not tell me now in this very direct and simple terms instead of relying on me interpreting their clauses and definition?
Very exasperating. Only shows that insurance companies are not totally honest and upfront when selling their policies.
My observation
In my view, the insurance policy should cover damage by falling tree, as it is not an excluded hazard and the policy should normally cover all perils. It is best to confirm with the insurance company. Their inability to give a clear answer is appalling. I advised the consumer to write to the Straits Times Forum page.

A fairer contract for motorists
THE General Insurance Association of Singapore's reply on Monday

It defeats the purpose of purchasing the protector
in the first place.

The US Based Medical Transcription Company-The Advantages of US Based Medical Transcription Companies | Transcription Software
US based medical transcription companies can deliver live support to the medical facilities during the day hours and they also have a very well developed 24 X 7 support too. The experts working for US based companies are locally trained and certified. This means that they fully understand the process, laws and other aspects of patient care and incorporate this understanding in their work. Thus the services provided by US based companies are much superior, inherently.
The Athenanet Transcription Service from Athenahealth | Transcription Software
Athenanet transcription services also manage all the interactions – both triggered by medical practitioners and their staff as well as the automated ones – with the patients. These are also stored as recorded as transcribed notes for future reference. The Athenanet provides the kind of back end infrastructure on which Athenahealth is able to build a wide range of services.
One of the best services from Athenahealth is the Athenacommunicator that helps manage the medical practitioner’s time through a lot of automated communications with the patients. The patients can be sent reminder calls for their check ups and even an automated call on the results of their latest medical tests. These services are run over the information collected and stored in the Athenanet.
