Popular Post WhatupThailand Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2019 Setup a Plan for Expats to pay into the Thai Social Fund system, thereby not being required to have insurance as the Thai government would already cover them. Also this would save all the downsides of Health care, without the need for more red tape in the Bureaucracy, as it is already set up, and only needs a Sub Heading for Expats, to be added to the system. This would help Both Thai and Expat alike, without the forced Insurance Scam. What do you think ? 2 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CharlieH Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2019 Already been stated / proposed many times in other threads. There used to be a scheme offered to holders of resident "yellow books" etc and annual premium of around 3k, but it was withdrawn by the Govt. Personally I agree, if they made it around 2k a month, way more than any average working Thai ever contributes, and they keep all the income not the insurance companies. Seems logical and much easier to me. 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
from the home of CC Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Within a month of implementation the system would be inundated with complaints of service, quality of meds, paying too much for substandard care and on and on ad nauseum. No, I think it's wise for the Thais to give this a pass.. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the demographic of the foreigners who would pay into such a scheme the pay-inn would have to be much, much larger than 2k per month, even if the scheme was limited to government hospitals.

No, I think it's wise for the Thais to give this a pass.. There's no chance of it even being considered. I'm pretty sure that the government doesn't take tips on how they should run (any part of) the country from posters of a forum whose members, in the main, are well-known to delight in daily Thai-bashing! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
