Hi to all....
I have been offered a position in Singapore working for the Eye institute and will be coming with a person who has had Type I Diabetes for about 18 years. We are hoping to get medical insurance here but understand that most insurers don't cover pre-existing. Coming from Australia, after spending one year in HK (whose medical coverage for those holding HKID cards is pretty good regardless of any pre-existing illnesses) - I'm concern about the very expensive medical bills we may need to pay if a hospital stay was required or even if day-to-day medication was required. We brought medicine to HK from Australia before we knew about the healthcare system set up there but generally want to avoid doing this again.
Are there any medical insurance companies that are willing to cover pre-existing illnesses and if not, is the public health system similar to that in Australia and HK that won't cost an arm and a leg either.
Thanks in advance....and I apologise if this has been brought up before - just send me to the right thread if it has.
