Subramaniam, the plan was to address the challenges and limitations that Malaysians face with out-of-pocket payment and the financial difficulties they face due to that.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, more than half of the population opt for private health services and over 30% of their health expenditure are out-of-pocket payments. For individuals that has sufficient fund will not feel the heat, but for individuals who are not, financial catastrophe can follow.<\/p>\n<p>However, this scheme will be on a voluntary basis and a special company would be created under the Ministry of Health to manage this non-profit scheme.<\/p>\n<p>He also assured that the current highly-subsidised public health care would be maintained. And the ministry hopes that this scheme would be able to address the weaknesses in the current private healthcare system over time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[<a
