cold heart question: who will pay the medical bills for the mangalas????

[socrates469bc]

this maybe a very cold-hearted question to ask during an epidemic, but there will be many more mangalas who will tio wuhan virus in the coming days.

 

so now the question arises, who will foot the bill for the health treatments of these migrant workers????

 

the sgp govt (indirectly the sgp taxpayers), their employers or the dorm operators who fail to ensure a clean environment.

 

crying lawrence better come clean on this question.

which brings up another question.

 

these mangala workers r brought in by the construction companies and these construction companies earn their profits on the backs of these mangala workers.

 

thus, the onus r on these companies to provide a safe and healthy living environment for these workers.

 

and in this most recent episode, we can see that these companies have clearly failed to do so and as a result, wuhan spread uncontrollably amongst the workers.

 

therefore, these companies r to bear the responsibility of what happened as well.

 

it cannot be the case that the taxpayers must pay for the mistakes of a private enterprise.

 

if it does, this becomes a situation of privatising the profit while socializing the costs.

If nobody pays to treat them, LL also need to use taxpayer money...

Or u rather let them roam the streets untreated? and spread the virus around? U die I die everybody die?

 

after the event is over, those constructions, shipyards with big mangala population will have post event gift.

SG govt not so easy to eat losses... it is only about when and how they recover the money...

construction companies will buy compulsory workplace accident insurance for their workers as this is part of govt regulation.

 

but issue here is usually these companies will buy workplace accident insurance and basic healthcare insurance only.

 

and as i understand, workplace accident will only cover work-related mishaps while basic healthcare only cover outpatient treatment.

 

so in this case, i dont think the mangalas r covered by the insurance their employers bot for them.

yes, i think post-event, the govt will bill these companies.

 

but issue here is that many of these mangalas r contracted by the small subcons, so the big contractors will just push the bills onward to the small subcons.

 

and i dont think the subcons have the money to pay the bills.

 

in the end, i think the taxpayers r will be pgd screwed by the cambridge clowns' incompetencies.
