Don't stop insurance coverage when we need healthcare the most

THE government, specifically the Finance and Health ministries and Bank Negara Malaysia, should mandate the medical insurance industry to extend coverage for up to 100 years for all existing policyholders, healthy or otherwise. This would allow policyholders to continue getting medical treatment with peace of mind.

Those who are sick but have been abandoned by their insurance companies have to beg or borrow money for treatment. This is very traumatic, and can kill a person faster than any disease.
