Medical insurance policyholders have received a temporary reprieve from a huge increase to their premiums. But what happens after 2026, when higher premium adjustments will likely be inevitable to reflect the increasing cost of healthcare? Datuk Indrani Thuraisingham, Vice-President of FOMCA, joins Azrul Mohd Khalib to discuss the impact of medical inflation on consumers, what regulatory measures are needed, and why short-term bandaid measures can no longer hold the system together.
