Who Should Choose Singlife Shield Plan 1?
Choose Plan 1 if you want private hospital access or are in your 30s-40s — the premium gap is small and locking in before health conditions emerge makes sense.
Stick with Plan 2 if comfortable with restructured hospitals or in your 50s-60s where fresh underwriting may exclude existing conditions.
Build a cash buffer for the $3,500 deductible: Syfe SRPRFFFCD or Endowus 2V343.
