I am born in 1979 or earlier. Why are there no subsidies for the catch-up component when it looks so substantial?
The catch-up component is not subsidised to ensure parity in premium subsidies across different groups within those born in 1979 or earlier.
 
If you are unable to afford your CareShield Life premiums even after premium subsidies, the Government will provide Additional Premium Support to help you with your CareShield Life premiums.
