Budget 2026 debate: Choo Pei Ling on managing healthcare responsibly
Healthcare affordability is a shared equation and Budget 2026 reflects this balance - investing where necessary, strengthening fiscal structures and financing mechanisms, and ensuring that the system remains strong for this generation and the next, said MP Choo Pei Ling. Speaking in parliament on Thursday (Feb 26), she said affordability, access and quality are the result of careful choices, shared responsibility and long-term stewardship. This means protecting care and cost with balance and foresight. For healthcare to remain strong, every part of the equation must be managed responsibly, she said.
