An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Health Minister Gan Kim Yong issued the vacuous assurance, that premiums under the new Medishield Life scheme will be affordable. A vacuous truth is a truth that is devoid of content because it asserts something about all members of a class that is empty - they haven't even figured out the numbers yet. With the next breath intake, he said the Government will subsidise the premiums for those who cannot afford them. Maybe we missed something here, why are subsidies needed at all if the premiums are truly affordable?
