Two steps away to reducing medical costs

I REFER to the letter “Medical insurance industry in need of care” (The Star, June 1) in which concerns were raised over the rising cost of medical care in the absence of unregulated fees in private hospitals and the consequential burden posed on patients.

I would, however, like to clarify that not all private medical facilities impose surcharges on their insured patients. The issue at hand extends to beyond just this.
