10 Reasons Why Expats in Thailand Should Have Comprehensive Health Insurance
Thinking about this further - if this is government health insurance, than I can't help but think you are considered a tax resident in your home country and thus you are current paying for 12-months of the year ALREADY in your home country (via your home country taxes). Even government health insurance is NOT free - its just that the payment of such is a bit obscured). I like Germany's practice where if one has private health insurance up to a certain standard, one can voluntarily leave the German public health care system (and hence pay less tax in Germany!). However one can never then go back to the German public health care. This is an important consideration (in Germany) for as one gets older, most private health insurance rates go higher and higher and higher and HIGHER . In contrast the public health care does not (go higher) so many in Germany stay on the government public health care. Canada, on other hand, unlike Germany, does not (to the best of my understanding) provide an income tax payable "deduction" for those who have good private health insurance. So there is less financial advantage in Canada to have excellent private health insurance (but there is a BIG timely service advantage to have private health insurance). I feel fortunate that I have subsidized private health insurance (part of my pension package) and that my annual health insurance costs do NOT increase after age-70, but even if I reach my 80s and 90s, I will only pay the rate of a 70-year old (again - part of my pension package). -

Whistleblower Alleges Normalized Anti-Semitism at the BBC
Frankly I don't give a <deleted> about BBC. If they're anti-semitic then they'll need to be held responsible for that! BUT, so does Israel for its wrongdoings and that's not really happening the way it should because people like you have their blinders on and see only the bad that's being done to the Israelis, while the bad Israel does is conveniently considered to be justified when it's clearly not! They're not the victims anymore, they've become the oppressor and frankly, theyre not one hair better than Hitler! -

Rama II Road Construction Halted for Safe New Year Travel
File photo for reference only The Transport Ministry is halting construction activities on Rama II Road from December 26 to January 2. This measure aims to facilitate smoother travel for those heading south during the New Year holiday. Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit noted the importance of easing travel on this major route. Additionally, efforts are being made to restore the road surface as much as possible to reduce congestion. Travelers are advised to plan their routes in advance to avoid traffic jams. This suspension follows a crane accident on November 29 at the construction site of the Ekkachai-Ban Phaeo Intercity Motorway 82 (M82) in Samut Sakhon, which resulted in six worker deaths and nine injuries. Minister Suriya has tasked agencies like the Department of Highways and the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand to assess contractor performance. This evaluation will be noted in a Contractor's Notebook, which may lead to the removal of contractors failing to meet safety standards. A fact-finding committee, including the Engineering Institute of Thailand, has been set up to investigate the M82 accident. Results are expected by mid-month. Meanwhile, efforts to clear the accident site are underway, with the removal of concrete segments and dismantling of a steel structure expected to be completed soon. -- 2024-12-06 -
