NHI will break the back of South Africa’s middle-class

The opposition Democratic Alliance wil submit a formal request to the Socio-Economic Impact Assessment Unit in the presidency, asking it to conduct a new risk assessment on the proposed National Health Insurance Bill.

South Africa’s national debt and unsustainably high budget deficit make it extremely impossible to consider adding a new multi-billion rand expenditure item in the form of the NHI, Clarke said. He added that South Africa must have this comprehensive assessment before continuing with the NHI Bill. The department added that the bulk of the required finances for the NHI is ‘already in the system’, with the bill providing for:

A surcharge on personal income tax. This would have to be introduced through a money bill by the minister of finance and earmarked for use by the fund.Private medical scheme provider Profmed also criticised the government’s proposals to fund the new NHI this week.

NHI will sink SA. State can not even maintain current infrastructure that was handed over in excellent condition in 1994. What kader has the ability to manage a 5X bigger venture.
