2025-12-28 22:46:14 +02:00 | Juan | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | No, I do not support the proposed National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill. While universal healthcare access is a worthy goal, this Bill is unaffordable, with no clear sustainable funding beyond massive tax increases that South Africa cannot bear amid low growth and high unemployment. It centralises vast power in a single fund vulnerable to corruption and mismanagement, ignores public sector failures (understaffing, infrastructure decay), risks driving doctors abroad, and effectively destroys private medical schemes—removing choice for millions. Fix the public system first instead of this reckless overhaul. |

2025-12-20 19:35:09 +02:00 | Jaco | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | I strongly oppose the implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill.While the goal of universal access to quality healthcare is commendable and aligns with constitutional imperatives, the proposed NHI system, as currently structured, is financially unfeasible given South Africa's constrained fiscal environment and competing national priorities.South Africa already provides public healthcare services to the majority of citizens, yet this sector suffers from severe mismanagement, infrastructure decay, staffing shortages, and widespread corruption. Entrusting a vastly larger, centralised fund to the same governance structures risks amplifying these issues on an unprecedented scale, potentially leading to further resource misallocation and diminished service quality.Citizens should retain freedom of choice in selecting healthcare providers and maintaining control over their personal health decisions. The private sector currently delivers efficient, high-quality care and should be leveraged as a partner rather than constrained.Government must first demonstrate effective stewardship by urgently reforming and strengthening the existing public healthcare system—addressing corruption, improving management, and ensuring reliable service delivery—before contemplating a comprehensive overhaul like NHI. Only then can public trust be rebuilt to support broader reforms that genuinely benefit all South Africans. |

2025-12-16 09:54:42 +02:00 | Brenton | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | I do not support the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill as currently framed, despite its stated objective of achieving universal access to quality Healthcare. Private care should still be availible should I choose to have it and not be restricted to government approved care. This is absurd. |
