Solidarity comments on insane NHI plans
14 September 2023
Solidarity highlighted the insanity of the government's planned National Health Insurance (NHI) in its comments to the National Council of Provinces.
The deadline for comments on the NHI is tomorrow (Friday, 15 September), and as with previous opportunities to provide input, Solidarity will make its voice heard tomorrow.
In its comments, the ill-considered NHI plans are briefly summarised as follows: unaffordable, impracticable and unnecessary.
These three arguments indicate why any plans to continue with the NHI are driven only by the ANC government’s ideology and hunger for centralist power. Studies by the Solidarity Research Institute (SRI) make this abundantly clear.
