Including those with pre-existing severe disabilities will strengthen collective responsibility and is fundamental to the inclusive and caring society Singaporeans seek to build. Less than 0.1% of Singaporeans aged 30 to 40 are estimated to have pre-existing severe disability. Hence, the cost of covering those with pre-existing severe disability amongst those born in 1980 or later does not have a significant impact on premiums.
