2026-02-06 12:00:43 +02:00 | Ben | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | South Africa can't afford the NHI. We don't have money for schools, education,infrastucture and a massive loan account and shortfall on the budget. Corruption is out of control and the poor is suffering. BEE is no use, company's are closing and disinvestment is daily due to outdated Marxist ideas. |

2026-01-27 11:56:28 +02:00 | Gayle | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | Please don't kill what remains of our health system. People are returning from the UK because of their NHI system and theirs is well established with a better base for contributing too it. It is not practical for SA to adopt it as we do not have a work force to support it. in addition you are taking our choice away and forcing us to use government operated hospitals which since the ANC has taken over has become a disgrace. Please don't make our doctors who are so few go overseas to avoid the war zone in our health system this will cause. Please don't try create a legacy which will fail and put the citizens in a worse off position medically which they are in now. In addition I wish you would pass a law which forces politicians to go to these public hospitals like you are trying to do for the people on the streets. You do not deserve better than us. I will take an educated guess that you will go overseas for better care and leave us to suffer. |
2026-01-26 16:43:15 +02:00 | Gerhardt | No I do not | Other | NHI Bill will destroy our healthcare sector. Government has proven its inability to manage basic public service and any involvement in private healthcare will result in the same state as ESKOM, SABC, the public healthcare sector. I do not support!! |
2026-01-26 08:36:27 +02:00 | Hardus | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | I object to the NHI Bill. The government is asking South Africans to trust a single, centralised health system even though the existing public sector is collapsing due to corruption, mismanagement, and poor performance. Many public hospitals receive similar or even greater resources than private facilities, yet outcomes are dramatically worse because of weak governance, political appointments, procurement failures, and a complete lack of accountability. Nothing in the NHI Bill fixes these systemic problems. The NHI centralises procurement and funding into one national structure, which increases the risk of large‑scale corruption. If officials cannot manage hospital budgets, maintain equipment, or run provincial systems effectively, there is no reason to believe they will suddenly perform better when given even more power and money. The same people who mismanage the current system will be running the NHI. The Bill also removes choice by limiting the role of medical aids and forcing all citizens into a single state‑controlled system. This reduces competition, weakens accountability, and risks driving skilled healthcare professionals out of the country. A health system cannot succeed if it loses the very staff needed to operate it. Instead of addressing the real causes of failure — corruption, poor management, staff shortages, equipment breakdowns, and collapsing infrastructure — the NHI attempts to restructure the entire system from the top down. Centralising a failing system does not fix it; it simply magnifies the failures. I request that the NHI Bill be withdrawn or fundamentally revised to prioritise repairing existing facilities, improving governance, enforcing accountability, and restoring public trust before any national funding model is considered. |
2026-01-23 00:09:02 +02:00 | Cornel | No I do not | Other | No to the NHI Bill entirely. It violates constitutional freedoms, risks massive corruption in a centralised fund, imposes unaffordable taxes, and destroys private healthcare choice without fixing public services first. Reject it now—prioritise real reforms instead! |

2026-01-21 16:59:52 +02:00 | Debbie | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | NO NO NO JUST ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THE ANC TO LOOT EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH TURNS TO SHIT FIX THE GOVERMENT HOSPITALS WITH THE TAXES WE ALREADY PAY THE ANC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THOUSANDS OF DEATHS DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE |
2026-01-21 10:47:27 +02:00 | Laura | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | Business has already asked for consultation on this matter to find ways to achieve healthcare for all without compromising the current structures. Government needs to listen |
