Let me convince you to make this a thesis.
Imagine you are an indigent patient in Batangas. You have no money. No one to call. Your only hope is a guarantee letter from the government’s Medical Assistance for Indigent and Financially Incapacitated Patients program. But when you reach the hospital, they hesitate. They tell you they might not accept it anymore. Why? Because they are drowning in unpaid government receivables worth hundreds of millions. And now, the very safety net meant to catch you is being pulled away.
Here’s what’s really wrong. The system meant to protect the poor is collapsing from within. Bureaucracy is choking the release of funds. Hospitals are left with empty promises instead of real payments. Patients are trapped between poverty and policies that fail them. If nothing changes, the most vulnerable will pay the highest price—with their lives.
