Does anyone know how the pre-existing medical conditions work in Singapore?

---

I am a US citizen that has been offered employment for 2 years in Singapore and have as pre-existing medical condition. Does anyone know if medical insurance public or private would cover pre-existing medical conditions?
That is why Americans are very stupid who oppose Obama heath care proposals. Insurance companies do all the cherry picking and those with pre-existing illness are not entitled for the illness affected. Not only that it only a matter of time people become uninsured temporarily when they switch jobs for example or are laid off. Then any illness suffered prior to that become pre-existing illness and you are denied cover. Insurance companies run scams even on co-payment. Let say your insurance is renewed in April. In March you have an operation and a follow up treatment in May. You only need to make copayment once since its only 2 months apart but the insurance company tells you need to make 2 copayments as its a policy renewal. Singapore Insurance companies follow exactly the same scams and of course the Singapore Government allows them to get away. People opt for cheap health care but now cheap option is only allowed for people who have to go through certain means test first. The rest of the citizens are forced to sip expensive lattes at Starbucks in Tan Tock Seng Hospital and pay exorbitant amount for private wards. Non-subsidized medicines and stuffs like syringes are even more expensive than what private doctors charges. The whole aim is not to help citizens save on health care but to suck them dry. Its not corruption but it is just as immoral. Asian people are fatalistic and quietly die when health costs becomes unaffordable. Americans scam the insurance system for the most expensive treatments they entitle themselves to not knowing the system scams them instead. I suggest in your case, get your current US insurer to extent cover for overseas treatment, this way there is no break and you would not be denied your old insurance plan when you return back to USA. Buy whatever you can get from local insurers, its cheap even though it does not cover a lot of stuffs plus co-payment.  (+ info)

How does "ending the practice of denying insurance based on preexisting conditions" help medical care?

---

How does "ending the practice of denying insurance based on preexisting conditions and ensuring the continuity of coverage between jobs. " help to lower the cost of medical care in the USA?
It would probably drive the cost of insurance up very rapidly.

Many people would apply for insurance just before they needed an expensive operation. They would pay a few hundred dollars and get back several thousand dollars.

This would cost the insurance company more and the insurance company would be forced to raise their premiums more than they would otherwise.

This would make the insurance premiums unaffordable for a certain percentage of their policyholders.

More people would drop their coverage. If the rates are the same for all ages, the insurance company would disproportionately lose younger healthier policyholders because younger folks tend to make less money.

The rates would go up again.

Then you would have more people uninsured and therefore more people who wait to get coverage until they have chest pains or some other major symptom.

Rinse and repeat.

Unfortunately, a partial solution isn't a solution at all. We should probably keep the system we have or go to a one payer system.  (+ info)

Do pathological liars have problems expressing their feelings and showing caring emotions in a relationship?

---

My boyfriend is a pathological liar and I feel like he loves me but he often has a poor way of showing it and he often comes across as cold hearted and uncaring, unconcerned. He can make me cry and not feel bad about it or apologize or I can get upset and leave and he will never call me to check on me or seem concerned. Do you think he just doesn't care about me or is this part of being a pathological liar?
Tammy, Ive been there dun that.... so take it from me when I tell you that you in the "I'll change him" mentality and it will NEVER work...

find someone who is all the things you are looking for...

Can you tell if a child is a pathological liar?

---

as young as the age of three?

She makes up stories of people hitting her and throwing her down when it's not true. There are witnesses.

Also her mother who is not in her life anymore is a pathological liar and a sociopath.

She was never held and always neglected while in her care until her dad's mom got ahold of her and raised her.
At 3, you laugh it off and say, "FAKER!".

Show her that you know the truth, and aren't impressed with her stories.

PRAISE her when she tells a true story. You want more attention and drama to surround proper behavior, in this case, telling the truth.

EDIT TO ADD:
Yeah, don't set her up for failure by constantly comparing her to her mentally ill mother. She's her own person, she gets to make her own mistakes. Please remember that.  (+ info)

Why would a doctor make a teen get a thyroid ultrasound? What thyroid conditions are there?

---

The doctor believes that a 17 year old has a lump in her throat.
What could show up in an ultrasound?
What conditions result from thyroid problems?
I recently had an ultrasound. They are looking for what appears to be a "pouch" like skin inside your throat.

It could be serious, like cancer. However, at the age of 17 that is unlikely. They found I have excess mucous building up near the thyroid. Not serious.  (+ info)
