Crowdfunding - A Potential Alternative to Medical Insurance?

Crowdfunding - A Potential Alternative to Medical Insurance?

It's no secret that insurance penetration in Malaysia is well below our targets, and Ravinder thinks that the way to address this is through a national scheme championed by the government, but how would something like that look like?

We also talk about a project he's been helping out on, Life Engineering. This platform aims to use a sense of community and crowdfunding to cover medical care costs, instead of insurance, but is this viable option?
