Government GL vs Medical Card

Hi guys,

Growing up, my parents never signed up for any medical card policies because they were government servants. Whenever we needed medical treatment, we just went to government hospitals, and it was all covered.

Now, I’m working in the private sector, so I got myself a medical card. However, I recently married a teacher (gov servant), which means I’m now eligible for the government's Guarantee Letter (GL) benefit. Essentially, I can get free treatment at government hospitals just like before.

I don’t mind being treated in government hospitals, and cutting costs by canceling my medical card sounds appealing.

Would love to hear your thoughts.
