2024-05-14 21:49:54 +02:00 | thapelo | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | there are various glaring infeasibilities in this piece of legislation, too many vague statements to be exploited and chances for corruption. It is unconstitutional. It will make access to quality health care even MORE unaffordable to normal already taxpaying citizens. Not only will a big part of the economy collapse, but there will be an even bigger brain drain of skilled medical professionals... |
2024-05-14 20:18:28 +02:00 | Christian | No I do not | Other | What is the purpose of proper health care that you paid for if the government can allocate other people of their choice to better health care although you can afford it and they can not? How does this make sense when the unemployment is the highest its ever been in the South African history, meaning someone whom doesn't contribute to taxes or any additional cost will receive equal or better medical care than the person who does contribute, I don't support this at all |
2024-04-21 15:07:57 +02:00 | Trevor | Yes I do | Ch.10 Financial matters | Currently medical aids are overcharging with astronomically high premiums and then refusing to pay any claims and simply stealing money from people. Furthermore doctors are also overcharging and stealing money. Whole system is all about money making scams and profiteering, to the detriment of human lives and quality of lives. It is designed to keep people sick so the rich elite can keep benefitting. Obviously something must be done very urgently to change and rectify all of this. Human life is infinitely more valuable than filthy money. |
2024-04-17 11:59:39 +02:00 | JACQUALINE | No I do not | Ch.2 Access to Healthcare services | It is my constitutional right to have private healthcare that I pay for. Why are the public healthcare facilities not being upgraded or well managed? Why should I as a tax paying citizen have to be subjected to the quality of healthcare that is being offered in these appalling facilities? It is a slight on the population that they should have to suffer these run down badly managed and understaffed facilities. Prior to freedom the state hospitals were exceptionally well managed and functional faciltities. If this current government cannot fix those how are they going to manage the NHI? |
2024-02-25 14:20:40 +02:00 | Annemarie | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | You, ANC Tripartite Alliance, inherited world class public health care facilities and run them all into the ground, as you did all other SOEs. The remedy is to FIX public health care up to the standard you received it in. THAT will provide excellent health care for ALL. We have NO need for a top-down government controlled fund. We know it will only be a slush fund for cadres. We want LESS government and more individual control. |

2024-02-05 17:01:17 +02:00 | Rowan | No I do not | Other | Where do I begin? Government has already demonstrated it is incapable of running the current healthcare system efficiently, and now that want to do away with the only working system to prop up their failing one? They haven't even done any studies to show how the NHI will work, and in fact, their pilot programs have reportedly been an utter failure. This is simply EWC for 2024 and is simply a way for the government to get votes. |
2024-01-27 19:48:12 +02:00 | K | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | Government cannot run this effectively and it hasn't worked worldwide. You will destroy the Healthcare system and millions of lives will be lost. |
2024-01-18 04:57:09 +02:00 | Adelaide | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | First we are in debt. Who is going to be funding the bill With so much corruption going on ,no one being accountable for all the missing funds from local and national departments. We are ruled by people who do not care about the people who voted for them. |
2024-01-17 15:23:37 +02:00 | Ronel | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | The bill will cause the Health System to fail. |
2024-01-15 16:07:36 +02:00 | Rozanne | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | |
2024-01-14 18:32:47 +02:00 | Rene | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | The Government has failed to keep state hospitals up and running. Patients are neglected and supplies are stolen, meals can't be served, to little staff etc. |

2024-01-12 12:52:34 +02:00 | Emily | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | South Africa currently has public healthcare and the option for private healthcare. The failure of the government to run various essential services such as Prasa, the Roads Agency, water & sanitation and Eskom etc, suggests a high likelihood for failure in this venture. Hi-jacking the successful infrastructure of the private sector of this country will merely encourage disinvestment. It is time for government to play catch up with investment in new clinics and hospitals. This would create much needed employment and growth. The government should celebrate and support private healthcare and perhaps hire some of it's key players to replicate excellence in the public sphere. |

2024-01-12 10:45:53 +02:00 | Tino | No I do not | Ch.2 Access to Healthcare services | This bill is ill-considered, has: * no workable funding plan * lacks the staff required to make it somewhat of a success * is being autocratically implemented whereas it should be on an opt-i n/ opt out basis * will undoubtedly be subject to massive fraud and corruption as with other state institutions * will result in an exodus of health professionals * is politically driven by individuals who don't have a notion of what they are doing * is prescribing to South African how they should spend their hard earned cash * is unaffordable by employed moderate income South Africans * will surely destroy the current working private health system in South Africa |
2024-01-12 07:56:07 +02:00 | Mariaan | No I do not | Ch.8 Operational provisions | Poor or no service-, medical supplies delivery-shortage of supplies to those who pay an arm and a leg-it is money wasted into a bottomless well -everthing will be consumed by those who don't pay a dime- |

2024-01-11 18:48:53 +02:00 | Abraham F | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | I do not trust the Government with any Health Services. Look at the National Hospital deterioration since 1994. Leave it up to the individual to choose. Government just wants to steal the money again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
2023-12-07 05:16:02 +02:00 | Johan | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | Plan can not be funded and is not achievable as managed by the current government and its caders, whom have not managed one project successfully since 1994. Not only is our country and its economy insolvent and junk berated, their own political party is insolvent. No expertise and political will to build anything, no state department is functional, health and social development a misery and you could visit any public hospital to evaluate - is there any good there/ is this acceptable in any persons book. Afraid that management without corruption and 30% pass rate is not going to make NHI work through incompetenti! Government is useless and the president and his ministers even more so - working for the people totally removed from building a country that provides for its people. NHI is sound concept and all wants to drive a Mercedes but few have the means to maintain the vehicle - which will soon again look like the unroadworthy taxi commuting our people. Little hope of success! |
2023-11-09 16:03:36 +02:00 | Ian | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | A quick look at the current state of hospitals and other SOE's and the answer is very simple. UNTIL GOV proves otherwise _ over time _ I vehemently oppose this draft bill. Some of us can barely afford private medical aid but need it due to circumstance, some are forced through company policy, and most people because of the appalling condition of most State hospitals and clinics, but very few have it, simply because it's a "nice to have". STOP STEALING PUBLIC FUNDS, STOP THE CORRUPTION AND LEAD LIKE TRUE CHAMPIONS. Take a leaf out of the SPRINGBOKS HANDBOOK TO SUCCESS. Don't just come steal their shine WHEN IT SUITES YOUR NARATIVE_ We see you Cyril ... |

2023-10-11 16:20:13 +02:00 | David | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | Have we not just learned from the RAF that these state institutions are useless at operating ethically, competently and effectively to deliver on their mandate. |

2023-10-09 09:31:18 +02:00 | Russell | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | This bill does not represent the will of the people of SA. |
2023-10-06 08:44:18 +02:00 | Clive | No I do not | Ch.2 Access to Healthcare services | Fix the public health system in a way that attracts medical aid contributors to want to use their services instead. Would there still be a medical scheme private care by government workers including the "public servants" in parliament? İf it's good for us it's good for them |
2023-09-27 09:45:25 +02:00 | Barend | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | The ANC is not addressing the problem head on, its seeking other avenues to obtain funds that will only be miss managed and leave a system that is only functioning because it has limited government interference and drive it into the ground. One cannot keep sweeping problems under the rug, the dirt will start to show., instead of trying to hide the issues they need to 1) manage the funds correctly 2) spend that money on fixing the public sector. |
2023-09-27 07:27:55 +02:00 | Lauren | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | this seems another means to drain the middle class in an attempt to pay for the working class - as much as I believe they need access to good health care the government needs to stop appropriating the money for their gain and use tax payers money to help the people of South Africa |
2023-09-25 10:38:46 +02:00 | MANDA | No I do not | Other | SINCE THE ANC TOOK OVER CONTROL OF THE COUNTRY AND IT`S INCOME, NOTHING GOOD HAS COME FROM THEIR GOVERNANCE AT ALL , EXCEPT THEFT, CORRUPTION, MISUSE AND ABUSE OF POWERS, RASCISM IN OVERDRIVE, ENTITLEMENT, NEPOTISM, DILAPIDATED INFRASTRUCTURE, COLAPSED NGO`S, ETC, ETC, ETC. SA GDP IS 44TH ON WORLD LIST, BUT ONE OF THE LARGEST CABINETS AND DEPUTEE`S WITH ASTRONIMICAL SALARIES AND PERKS FAR EXCEEDING THAT OF VERY HIGH RANKING GDP COUNTRIES. I DO NOT TRUST ANYTHING THEY PUT ON THE TABLE!! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO MY HEALTH. |
