NHI Bill will nationalise healthcare and create additional tax burden for South Africans
8 August 2019
The Democratic Alliance (DA) notes the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill which was tabled in Parliament.
As anticipated, the Bill has not changed much since the first problematic version was tabled during the 5th Parliament.
The Bill, as it stands will not in anyway, be able to achieve universal health coverage.
The DA is convinced that instead of being a vehicle to provide quality healthcare for all, this Bill will nationalise healthcare, create another State Owned Enterprise and be an additional tax burden to already financially- stretched South Africans.
