That's not true. I have chronic illnesses, seeing doctors in public hospitals at subsidised rates and $20k is a very achievable number LOL. If one does not have insurance, out of pocket expenses can easily hit $20k. Let me put it into perspective of some of the rates (before subsidy):
MRI - $2.2k
CT scan - $600
Echocardiogram - $770
Hospitalisations - easily $4-20k for chronic illnesses
Medisave - claimable only *up to $300 per year*
Some conditions need regular MRI/CT imaging every 3-6 months. Add up the costs of imaging, blood tests, medications, doctor visits, hospitalisations... and the costs far exceeds $20k.
Of course, to each their own. Some people may think they need less for medical and choose to use that money elsewhere.
