Solidarity will pull out all the stops now in the fight against the fatal NHI
7 December 2023
Solidarity is ready to launch a full-on assault against the planned National Health Insurance (NHI) and is making an urgent appeal to the public to support its actions against this destructive scheme all along.
The NHI Bill is now yet another step closer to being passed as law after the ANC used its large majority in the National Council of Provinces (NCOP) to pass the Bill unaltered.
Should one last appeal to Pres Cyril Ramaphosa to halt the NHI fall on deaf ears too, we will be heading to court about the NHI where Solidarity will go all out to stop it.
“All the pleas have been made and all the warnings have been issued as to why the NHI will have disastrous consequences for all South Africans,” Theuns du Buisson, economic researcher at the Solidarity Research Institute (SRI) said.
“We have shown how the cost of the so-called “free health care” will be recovered from South Africans as additional taxes – something that will no doubt ruin households financially.
