2024-03-06 08:31:20 +02:00 | Natalie | No I do not | Other | I do not believe the ANC could successfully pull this off. They will scare away half our experienced doctors and destroy the private hospitals and medical aids. They'll steal funds. |
2024-02-23 08:31:11 +02:00 | Khanya | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | The NHI Bill does not fully explain the benefits which will be provided and whether it will be providing services similiar to the services provided/ covered by a Medical Aid. It is also worth noting that due to the rise in living costs, it is not acceptable to just keep proposing more additional costs to employees who are already struggling to make ends meet. |

2024-01-20 08:21:20 +02:00 | K | No I do not | Other | The employed funding the unemployed, government needs to ctreate jobs, you cannot take from one to give to another continuously. Eventualky the employed will stop working due to overload funding. |
2024-01-13 19:36:57 +02:00 | Matthew | No I do not | Other | How can the government claim money private citizens pay to their medical aid as funding for NHI? this is blatantly unconstitutional |

2024-01-12 12:54:11 +02:00 | Sonica | No I do not | Other | EVERYTHING about the NHI bothers me!! Our country is filled with corruption - everything that the government put their hands on, becomes a MESS!!! This is just another way of stealing more of our money!! More people will die with this NHI! |
2024-01-12 11:20:08 +02:00 | Nicolaas | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | I feel that South Africa already has excellent Public Health Services (example Charlotte Maxeke hospital and many other Public Hospitals whereby patients can receive affordable treatment, in many cases for only the cost of the registration fee which is minimal. On teh other hand, individuals who are able to afford private healthcare insurance such as Discovery Health and Bonitas, should retain their human rights to dispense with their income in a way that they choose, i.e. to buy healthcare insurance and obtain healthcare services from private hospitals such as Life Healthcare, Mediclinic and Netcare hospitals being good examples. This private healthcare system of S Africa has been developed using mostly private money and private citizen savings and resources for many decades, and SA citizens can trust the privately run medical Aid service providers such as Discovery to apply good corporate governance and financial accountability to correctly manage the funds and provide the medical services that citizens pay for. The Private sector does an excellent job, hence the existing customer base is supporting this existing system very strongly. There is no need to expropriate and divert the private funds to public works- citizens have invested their funds in private healthcare insurance because it is their desire and right to obtain this insurance privately. If NHI does indeed come into effect, the citizens' savings in the various Medical Aid funds should be returned to the citizens as the funds belong to them in their private capacity.

2024-01-12 07:51:02 +02:00 | Michael | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | I don't believe that the now defunct health system can cope as they cannot provide the services that are required at present. |

2023-12-21 10:28:23 +02:00 | Philip | Not fully | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | 1. Purpose and Application. 2. Access to health care services. 3. Establishments, Functions and Powers of the NHI. 4. The Board, CEO, Committees and Advisory. 5. Operational provisions. 6. Complaints and Appeals. 7. Financial matters. I support the fundamental need for national health. However, the NHI will be too expensive, and we do not have enough of a tax base to support it. I cannot afford both medical aid and paying for the NHI as well. The NHI does not make adequate mention of mental health conditions. Consultation with all stakeholders is severely lacking. The funds could be better spent on the already existing public health infrastructure. Reduce unemployment and increase the tax base first. |

2023-12-18 07:47:13 +02:00 | Sherene | No I do not | Other | A study conducted among doctors by the Solidarity Research Institute (SNI) found that they would leave the country in large numbers if the NHI was implemented. 94% of respondents believe private health practitioners may decide to work abroad because of NHI. 47% indicated that they would start the emigration process as soon as the NHI is accepted in South Africa. 19% said that they had already initiated the process to emigrate. 0% of medical practitioners are optimistic about the NHI. He further noted that South African doctors and specialists announced that they would rather close their practices than work under the government’s National Health Insurance (NHI). |
2023-12-03 19:16:06 +02:00 | Ockert | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | The department of health has failed on its mandate to the citizens. This health bill will just enable more looting. The funds allocated to health should be used for the purpose of healthcare and not for a large amount of departmental salaries delivering no service. |
2023-11-28 19:34:52 +02:00 | Ashwin | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | I'm against the bill in its entirety! |
2023-11-28 11:47:52 +02:00 | Dylan | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | The idea would work if more of South African citizens paid taxes and contributed to the upkeep of this idea. However due to the current economy of this country and the fact of the matter, only a small portion of citizens pay tax and the tax that is paid does not get used correctly. The level of corruption from the current government prevents such ideas from ever working efficiently. This would just become another case of corruption and scandal within the government. |
2023-10-31 19:06:42 +02:00 | Magauta | No I do not | Ch.10 Financial matters | The government should first fix the poor condition of our hospitals and clinics then it can propose this bill. No resources, no adequate medications in our hospitals and clinics, attend to this first. |
2023-10-14 08:04:17 +02:00 | Cara | No I do not | Ch.3 Establishment, Functions and Powers of the NHI | The government is far too corrupt and self invested to not make a mess of the entire healthcare system should healthcare be in its hands . Eg like SAA airlines and Eskom are a prime example of the mess that the government makes when it has its fingers in places it has no business being. |
2023-10-09 18:39:00 +02:00 | Nadette | No I do not | Ch.1 Purpose and Application | All people should have access to healthcare. The failing healthcare system is the only example needed to demonstrate how horribly the State will run the NHI. They are proud to advertise their own corruption, so how many payments will be completed, and how many palms will be greased for trips, expensive cars and houses? This is a terrible idea, to take something citizens pay for that works, and changing it into a State grab nightmare |
2023-10-09 10:26:44 +02:00 | SPHESIHLE | Not fully | Ch.2 Access to Healthcare services | The changes enhances too many loopholes of the government facilities the maintenance the lack of new infrastructures and the control in given treatments. there is no good conduct seen on the current structures of the health facilities because on the government protocols in place. Almost all state entities are being sold to private sector how will this one be any different in the management? |

2023-09-27 08:44:50 +02:00 | Jacqueline | No I do not | Ch.2 Access to Healthcare services | Nothing, absolutely nothing that this government touches is without corruption. Our health care is already broken and now they want more control and a more lucrative source of pilfering. |
