Ch.1 Purpose and Application
I am concerned about the purpose and application because if the public health system is not being taken care of for ALL South Africans, how do they intend to make it work with the NHI?
There is no trust in fulfilling the basic health requirements of those who have no choice but to rely on the poor services and discrimination faced at public health care facilities.

Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI
The Government cannot even run the existing State owned Hospitals, how will they run the NHI?

The government is corrupt and cannot even provide for the state hospitals it has!
If the National Health system in the UK is unable to provide which has been running for 70yrs +, RSA has no hope.
Just another tax for government to steal from the population.
Infringes on my right of choice for medical care.

Unfortunately, given the track record of Government handling money, I'm concerned that at some point, the corruption in the health sector will seep into the mechanics of the NHI. Currently, tax allocated to the health sector disappears at an alarming rate, with little to no visible improvements in service and facilities. I struggle to believe that paying into a system ahead of rollout is the way to go.
It's estimated that R1.3 trillion over the last 5 years has been wasted because of:
Procurement abuse (dodgy tenders)
Overpricing and poor contracts
Failed or abandoned projects
Lack of accountability (“no consequence culture”)

Prevent that, and I'd consider it, but only maybe, because there isn't one successful case study in the world where this works, especially one where the taxbase is 15% of the country, and the unemployment is over 30%. Countries with a 3% unemployment rate might fare better.

Everything run by the government is a failure and will lead to a total breakdown of medical services. This will open the door to massive corruption and incompetence. The past 30 years plus is proof enough.
