I used to struggle with receiving kindness because I’d immediately feel the need to repay it, almost like I was indebted. I’ve grown into understanding that I can receive freely, and reciprocate from a place of gratitude and abundance. ❤️
If you’ve worked long enough in a private hospital, you’ll know that there are people who abuse their use of HMOs and those who don’t.
You’ll recognise them from their visit history. Some feel they have to maximise their use of the service simply because they PAY for it every month.
Some even try to pressure/bully healthcare workers into doing things that fall outside good clinical practice, despite having the rationale explained to them.
The problem is that this mindset places unnecessary strain on HMOs and creates bias against other people who genuinely need to use them. That’s the real issue, and it’s a global one wherever health insurance is involved.
You can even tell from some of the replies and posts on this topic that many people with health insurance don’t really understand how it should be used. Instead, they expect any healthcare worker who raises concerns to stay silent and “just do their job.”
They’re unwilling to consider any other perspective because, in their minds, they’ve PAID for it.
That’s the real problem.
You paid 500k-1M as insurance for a year doesn't mean you must use that service if you have no genuine need for it.
The fact you paid for a car insurance incase of accident doesn't mean you will request for the insurance company to come fix your car when you never had an accident.
Insurance is you putting your money as an hedge over uncertainty.
The day you need that service the insurance takes over, and might pay more than the money you have initially deposited.
This tweet was about abuse of benefits
We know what he is talking about
Most HMO beneficiaries come for vague things.
You're not supposed to take medications for everything.
For every family of 5 that comes, only 1 or maximum of 2 actually need care but the entire family want to chew drugs like skittles too
Decided to be quiet about this HMO thing but nah, yes they take the money from your salary every month but do they actually pay the hospitals.
The cough syrup you collected in February, your HMO paid the hospital in June, yes that is why hospital staffs prefer private patients
@Yinkaoke Yes, hospital delay salaries when HMO’s don’t pay, some even split staff’s salaries into two just so the hospitals can still run, if all high quality hospitals refuse to be in partnership with HMO’s, when you need quality care can you pay 70k for consultation?
