2026-08-27 09:12:27 +02:00 | Righard | No I do not | Other | I strongly oppose the proposed National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill. I do not believe that handing control of healthcare funding to a single, state-managed fund is in the best interests of South Africans. Government has repeatedly demonstrated serious problems with corruption, financial mismanagement, poor administration and the deterioration of essential public services. Creating another enormous state-controlled fund does not address these underlying failures and risks placing an even greater financial burden on taxpayers. I am also strongly opposed to any system that could reduce my freedom to choose how and where I receive healthcare or limit the role of private medical schemes and private healthcare. South Africans who work and pay for private healthcare should not be forced into a system they do not want or trust. The priority should be fixing, properly funding and effectively managing the existing public healthcare system, while preserving the right of individuals to choose and pay for private healthcare. For these reasons, I do not support the NHI Bill and believe it should not be implemented in its current form. |

2026-08-20 13:30:29 +02:00 | David | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | I object to all aspects of this bill CH1. Purpose and Application - poor people or people without medical aid already have access to health services for free, it is not the fault of those with medical aid that the facilities are run down and not maintained, or that the quality of care is worse than anything i would wish on anyone, NHI will not fix this, it will just put all of us in the same boat. CH2. Access to Healthcare Services - as mentioned above - everyone has access to healthcare sevices vis the national department of health - the fact that this is substandard is entirely the fault of the department - NHI will not fix this. CH3. Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI - removes my freedom of choice CH 4,5,6,7 The Board, CEO, Committees and Advisory - will consume more than their fair share of the budget - will become another cesspool of corruption CH 8. Operational provisions - the department of health can't run the existing hospitals successfully - NHI will not fix this. CH 9. Complaint & Appeals CH 10. Financial matters - there is no financial model for the NHI, with the dwindling tax payer base, this pie in the sky vanity project of the anc will sink this country. |
2026-08-20 11:32:11 +02:00 | Sally | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | Free or virtually health care has been available for everyone in South Africa for at least 50 years. Under the ANC the hospitals and standards have plummeted and going to a hospital has become a dangerous situation. Baragwanath Hospital used to be one of the BEST in the world. How the hospitals and clinics are now run is an absolute disgrace. We don't need 'another government institution'. Fix what we have. Government must not have more funds under their control to mismanage and squander. |

2026-08-17 07:18:55 +02:00 | Marthinus | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | It is illegal and unconstitutional for people to be prevented from purchasing healthcare should they have the means to. The National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill is therefore a violation of my Constitutional and Human rights. |
2026-08-16 10:54:45 +02:00 | Neil | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | What I would propose is that government initiate their NHI but initially it be limited to ALL government employees, their families and the indigent for a period of TEN YEARS and all those "members" be restricted to use NHI services only. Thereafter if having demonstrated its capabilities of proficiency it is successful it can then be considered for further roll out incorporating private medical aid/medical practice. In short let our government ministers, deputies ------- lead by example by demonstrating their commitment and faith in their NHI! |
2026-08-13 16:25:02 +02:00 | JOHAN | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | Most state departments are looted and there is no money left for Health care , we can not afford higher taxes. |

2026-08-13 06:10:19 +02:00 | Brad | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | It has taken the ANC 30 years to dismantle what was an effective and efficient health care system. Everybody knows this. So why should the public trust them with the NHI. First fix what you have broken before I will ever consider this lunatic proposal. |
2026-08-13 01:52:10 +02:00 | Lisa | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | If 3% of the population in SA work in government and they receive 60% of taxpayer generated income, what do you think will happen when you take their medical benefits away and send them to state medical services? Nation wide protests. That is just state employee reactions nevermind the private sector. Mr president we do not have the patient, time or money for your pet projects! It does not work in the UK, it is not going to work here. |
2026-08-12 20:31:21 +02:00 | Matthys | No I do not | Ch.8 Operational provisions | I pay monthly medical aid for fast assistance on medical care. I can't waist an entire day spending time at a clinic ot hospital and hopefully someone will assist. I can't afford a leave day to be waisted. The state can't even support current patience. The private sector is a private business. Today every minute counts in an emergency. State doesn't have the time to react fast. Everything is on a go slow. |
2026-07-13 21:46:30 +02:00 | Marthinus | No I do not | Other | This is , was and is going concern as a full blown scam . I lost my medical on early retirement ,and no redress up to date . Company subsidy signed off as null and void by Unions . Where was govt oversight - glaringly absent . Public Hospitals not even worth 3rd rate at present . Clinics once weekly only , this is a bull condition in rurals in respect of travel distances . Why district surgeons not available to all as a stop gap condition? Tax deduction portion lost due regulations , but actual cost now more . Affordability aspect a pipe dream , white washed sham. |
