Did you know your lifetime healthcare insurance could cost nearly a million dollars?

Join special guests as they pull back the curtain on the jaw-dropping mechanics of Integrated Shield Plans:

  • Alex Lee, Chief Actuary
  • David Wu, Minimalist in the City & Financial Coach
  • Eddy Cheong, CEO of Havend


In this episode, uncover:

  • Why premiums keep skyrocketing — and the hidden "buffet syndrome" driving your costs up.
  • The real impact of medical inflation and how it’s quietly draining your savings.
  • Expert strategies to decide: Do you REALLY need that premium plan?
  • A candid debate on public vs. private healthcare — is faster treatment worth the price tag?


Eddie brings insider insights on conflict-free insurance advice, while Alex breaks down the actuarial secrets behind pricing and reserves.

"It’s not just insurance — it’s a climate change-level problem we’re creating for each other."

Don’t miss this eye-opening deep dive into one of Singapore’s most pressing financial dilemmas. Whether you’re 25 or 65, this episode could save you hundreds of thousands in the long run.
