If you or your loved one needs substantial medical treatment, such as bypass surgery, cancer therapy or IVF treatment, you could be looking at medical bills that could range from tens of thousands of ringgit, or several hundred thousand, if you’re paying out-of-pocket. These conversations are becoming increasingly common in middle-income households, as they look for options beyond the crowded public healthcare system.
