2024-11-25 16:38:00 +02:00 | Elma | No I do not | Other | Everyone of the Ministers since 1994 has made the Health Care system worse. If you are connected to any active healthcare person you will know the unbelievably terrible conditions they have to deal with. If they couldn't make an existing EXCELLENT department work, how will they handle this mammoth NHI monster? The road to hell is paved with good intentions. A reminder: WE ARE THE TAXPAYERS. WITHOUT US THE GOVERNMENT IS DEAD. BETTER LISTEN TO US. |
2024-11-25 10:49:59 +02:00 | Christo | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | There is no way that South Africa can afford to try functioning with a NHI. The country is currently unable to manage the existing infrastructure and services due to lack of integrity and ability. To add to this burden by incorporating a NHI system our people will suffer more than they currently are. It is irresponsible to even try before we can start functioning with what is in place now…. Fix what we have now before adding extras |

2024-10-17 07:50:16 +02:00 | Portia | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | While I acknowledge that a general health system could be beneficial for those struggling without medical aid, I have significant concerns about the financial impact on individuals like myself. As a hardworking taxpayer, I am already contributing a substantial amount in taxes each month, and I also pay for my own medical aid. The prospect of paying extra taxes to fund the NHI—whether through general taxes or deductions from my salary—is worrisome. I am not in favor of incurring additional taxes because I simply cannot afford it. My company provides only minimal annual salary increases that are below the rate of inflation, which further strains my financial situation. Additionally, there is a lack of transparency regarding how my current tax contributions are being utilized, making it difficult to trust that the new funds will be managed effectively and ethically. I urge the policymakers to consider the financial burden this will place on citizens who are already contributing significantly through taxes and personal medical expenses. It is crucial to explore alternative funding mechanisms or strategies that do not disproportionately affect those who are already financially stretched. Transparency in how tax revenues are allocated and used is essential to gain public trust and support for the NHI. |

2024-10-16 14:51:45 +02:00 | Michelle | No I do not | Other | DO NOT SUPPORT IT. I will carry my own medical costs, ans so should eveyone else. Contributing to the NHI will take food out of my family's mouth. |

2024-10-12 07:17:30 +02:00 | Sam | Yes I do | No concern | It is important that we support those that cannot afford expensive medical bills with the revenue of the government being spread equally between citizens |
2024-10-07 10:46:42 +02:00 | Mario | No I do not | Ch.2 Access to Healthcare services | The NHI is a honey pot. Government wants to tap into this and steal as much as they can. The death rate in S A. Will soar out of control. Government hospitals are a death trap. Nurses & Fly by night doctors are not competent to deal with the public health care. Furthermore Government wants control to allow life threatening medication to be given to patients. They will be dictated to by UN Healthcare to administer dicey medication to slow down the world population rate. In a nutshell, government cannot be trusted, they want to kill as many persons via instructions from UN. When Ramaporsa falls ill send him to a government hospital. Recent experience. My brother in-law was in Wentworth hospital for 4 weeks. Did not bath for 4 weeks. No proper care. He was released in a wheel chair and passed away a day later. Government hospitals are a death trap. |

2024-10-05 21:29:10 +02:00 | Florina | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | the must be a review when there is a need. the way things are running at the moment is fine. no need for any amendments or whatsoever. |
2024-10-03 08:26:48 +02:00 | Tracy | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | The NHI in its current format will prevent those on private medical aid from accessing their medical scheme cover and forcing them into the NHI. This will increase the burden on an already underfunded public healthcare system which government has neglected for 30 years. It also means that taxpayers will have to support a system which they cannot access - limiting the right to purchase private healthcare. In most countries offering NHI - healthcare is free whereas this proposal would still be "pay-per-use". This is globally unprecedented. |
2024-10-03 07:33:13 +02:00 | Lalena | Not fully | Ch.10 Financial matters | 1. Sort out the current public hospitals and staffing from the funds being paid to Govmt officials. Streamline parliment and staff. recup money from corruption and crime. MPs and parliment are overstaffed and overpaid. Make it mandatory that MPs use current public health. 2. DO NOT increase taxes for this !!!! 3. Invite private participation in running the current public hospitals. 4. LEAVE THE PRIVATE MEDICAL FACILITIES AND SERVICES AS IS. |

2024-10-01 17:30:18 +02:00 | Paul | No I do not | Ch.2 Access to Healthcare services | Again nonsense and we are going to be poorer for paying for something we don’t want. Stop wasting our time and stop wasting our funds. |
2024-10-01 14:28:36 +02:00 | Karen | No I do not | Ch.2 Access to Healthcare services | The NHI will cause this country to escalate into poverty - The concern is that the only ‘viable’ means of funding will be a substantial increase in taxes, with no assurance that overburdening taxes would or could indeed be directed towards improving access to healthcare, be it due to competing national priorities or mismanagement, fraud or corruption. Most public hospitals remain OHSC non-compliant. This suggests substantial investments will need to be made in the public sector infrastructure before the NHI can get off the ground. The funding of private hospitals and the remuneration of healthcare professionals will need to be carefully managed to ensure that South Africa retains its community of qualified, highly skilled healthcare professionals. |
2024-09-29 00:44:19 +02:00 | Hope | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | Everything about this Bill makes me very concerned namely also concerned about the state of the funds of the people of South Africa and i cannot agree with this Bill. |
2024-09-27 15:37:50 +02:00 | Hettie | No I do not | Other | There will be NO SUCH thing as universal access to quality health care services because of the high level of corruption in government this will result in the money allocated for the so-called NHI being defrauded by corrupt official and will most definitely NOT benefitting any of the citizens. |
2024-09-26 12:21:37 +02:00 | Steven | No I do not | Other | Post Bank South Africa was just recently robbed of over 100 Million rand, from an inside Job. The minister of justice is implicated in the VBS heist. The Lottery Fund has been looted ,and a PRASA manager has been selling railway tracks. Just a few of the current scandal's going on at the moment, and you want the public to put all of their medical aid contribution into one basket, to be presided over by the A.N.C are you completely insane ? |
2024-09-26 10:59:49 +02:00 | Kolja | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | The NHI is unaffordable. Also, the high level of corruption in government will result in only a fraction of the money allocated to NHI being spent on NHI, thereby not benefitting the people. |

2024-09-18 09:15:47 +02:00 | Santie | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | None of the SOE is functional in SA, so will the NHI. Due to influx of foreigners our funds will reach total depletion. |
