In late 2021 I heard of a VI patient who had GBS who was given PhilHealth subsidy. She nearly died and most likely spent more than the 100k from PhilHealth. This is a patient na may kaya seems to be upper middle class or higher SES.

There is indeed a budget but to be able to file a claim one needs a lot of help and a lot of emergency funds.

For sure the 100k is too low... I have heard of hospital bills post jab 500,000 to millions range. The patient still died The family was impoverished having to sell assets to pay the hospital bill.
