Solidarity welcomes growing rejection of NHI
11 April 2024
More and more influential groups are openly opposing the National Health Insurance (NHI), and Solidarity is hoping that more individuals and organisations will become actively involved in the fight against it.
The latest organisation to also announce its intention to take legal action against the NHI is the South African Medical Association (SAMA) which represents medical practitioners.
Solidarity has long since been taking the lead in this fight, especially regarding the upcoming legal battle that will begin as soon as the amendment bill by pres. Cyril Ramaphosa is signed.
Theuns du Buisson, economic researcher at the Solidarity Research Institute (SRI), said that any additional pressure, even by means of litigation, will be welcomed.
