Pray tell, what is the old rule of pricing BTO?

What I know is, the BTO price was frozen shortly in 2012 when KBW revised the method of creeping up BTO prices with the rising HDB resale market index. I am not aware they actually made the flats any cheaper, and therefore had specifically advantaged those who bought after that.

About the premiums, my initial impression of Medishield Life is that it is a far superior scheme than the older one. Those who buy external plans will know how much it costs, especially the as-charged plans when you get old. Nothing is for free. Those premiums that you see today are simply based on current claims and they are already nearly 7-10x those charged by Medishield Life for similar aged groups. Anyone who believe those premiums for private insurers will not go up between now and 40 years need to wake up and smell the coffee.

I will try to convince myself that people will indeed suffer serious financial damage from the increased premium from the new medishield scheme as implied by you...
