The government is determined to press ahead with implementing National Health Insurance despite the fiscal constraints facing SA, health minister Joe Phaahla told parliament on Wednesday evening.
MPs are now considering the NHI Bill, the government’s first piece of enabling legislation for its plans for universal health coverage, which seeks to provide services that are free at the point of delivery for all citizens...A subscription helps you enjoy the best of our business content every day along with benefits such as articles from our international business news partners; ProfileData financial data; and digital access to the Sunday Times and TimesLive Premium.
NHI is a pyramid scheme to enrich politicians
I will never pay a cent to a state healthcare plan in SA. I will use very legal loophole possible.
They will use pension funds, and Discovery_SA will most probably support this.
No money for doctors, no money for nurses, for medicine, for maintenance of hospitals, no money for medical supplies but money for NHI 😏 govlogic
This guarantees my leaving SA. I need private medical insurance and care. NHI is going destroy what's left of SA health care.
Eish these communist ideas won't work..first renovate all health facilities & build more suitable centres to cut long travelling..& leave private hospitals so that ppl have a choice
Basically just highlighting how intent they are on destroying the country.
The poor guy is following instructions of the bosses, or else he will soon be jobless.
Aren't they supposed to fix the state of health care centres first?
And it will be the final nail in its coffin, the state hospitals is in such a mess. Your state run hospitals busy with extreme racism pushing out any white dokters as they don't want them there 2 of our friends that work as dokters got told they not welcome and should go.
Cadres need to eat
Not going to work they can't run government hospitals it's another looting mentioned OUTASA afriforum TaxJustice_SA
What about those who pay an arm and leg for private health care?
Arms Deal part 2. Kickbacks here we come.
If this is CR's stand, he will be removed by December.
If you can start by successfully implementing 80% of Zondo Commission Report maybe, just maybe, you l can give you an orange light to go on.
Domastrant. Parmantig. Balhorig. IK gebrekkig 'n Hele Minister.
ANC enrichment scheme loading
There goes a looting marathon again🙆
Govt ministers and state employees must be compelled to use NHI only
These fuckers think one thing: steal
Oh dear. Looks like another ideological debacle! 😂😂
Looters lining up to loot more than ever
This will not end well
Win votes with broken promises.
Of course they will. More opportunity to feed at the trough
Zimbabwefication at twice the speed, watch this space. VoetsekANC
Obviously they need soe where to loot from
Every single SOE is Useless and Corrupt to the core. Including public health, but a NHI will be difficult, yea sure🙄🙄🙄
If course they will. The feeding trough must remain full.
What a stupid statement to make - I am going to buy a Lamborghini despite only having R100,000 in my bank accounts. Can’t they see that they are talking nonsense. 🤡🤡🤡
Whatever
One more thing for the ANC to screw up and steal from. Judging from media reports how bad public hospitals have got, doctors will continue to leave and infrastructure will fail.
What a humongous doos
This won't end well. This is final nail in coffin for Healthcare. ANC simply don't have expertise to pull this off successfully besides our rippled economy. Let's sit back and watch this crumble too🙄
The Zimbabweans and Mozambiquens will be the main beneficiaries of NHI
Another HUGE ANC fckup looming! More corruption!
Thats the anc for you at its best
There will be race based laws under NHI, meaning if youre the wrong colour you dont receive care. Period.
Yes and immediately embark on an underspending exercise. Does this make any sense

Where are the citizens democratic rights not to have their tax funds abused and stolen by the ANC and to block any further mechanisms for the ANC to keep stealing and laundering. it’s been 20 Years of theft and destruction WHERE ARE OUR RIGHTS - CONSTITUTIONAL COURT?!!
Of course - Identifed pot of money (the medical aids reserves AND contributions) - we want to eat! Bunch of criminals - has nothing to do with anything else VoetsekANC
Their pay Masters have spoken
Ideology over reality and logic
Oh really?
Probably because no one in the ANC has bothered to work out how much NHI will cost the country. Like when Zuma said there would be free education. How many students are there Jacob? How much doesn't each one need? No idea? Didn't think so
Buying votes at all cost
They going to just end up rebranding what they have as ‘NHI’, it’ll end up being the same/worse and we’ll all be more out of pocket. It’s name changing on a grand scale (ie. A means to access more funds to steal). Nothing they’ve suggested actually addresses any issues 🤷♂️
Can't even keep the lights on....
Does they can’t even pay for the services rendered and now they’re telling us about this NHI Nonsense
Thieves! So they can continue to buy 10k buckets 🪣
Keep going dude, you are just accelerating CapeIndependence.
Biggest corruption scam ever. Bill Gates will suck us dry. The bastard convinced ANC to implement this scheme in 2009 already. This puppet regime is selling us out to the globalists
it's like I knew this was about to happen... lol as a conspiracy realist I knew this was coming
They can’t even deliver BASIC healthcare, yet … NHI!! 🤷♂️
CapeIndependence is coming
So what happens if all the state employees strike at the NHI minister Will you be in the queue at the hospital or will you also visit Russia for medical care?
mhloct22 tlo bone 🤣
Africascope_SA before the NHI can be implemented there will be the need to ensure the optimal provision of health facilities across SouthAfrica. Methods of monitoring the quality of public and private health facilities will also need to be effectively implemented.
Clowns who can’t make a spaza shop successful. VoetsekANC come elections. You going to cry for your incompetence and corrupt ways!!
Lol state will press nowhere except down a move shaft
Dom donners
Spend what you don’t have! ANC doctrine.,
TonyLeonSA Of course they will; loota-continua
More lucre
NHI is a great idea and policy if and only if there was not going to be corruption.
We are cursed with bad leadership,the NHI will collapse the entire health industry,having worked extensively with the black led government I can confirm that they are the most useless and pathetic bunch of looser to have ever run a country .
Cant even supply electricity and water and now they want to run a complex and costly medical system. They have failed at even the most basic of projects. 🤡🤡🤡
With what money?
Because they can destroy it, they hate to see other people actually being successful - What a bunch of clowns🤡🤡🤡
Of course they don't care about the economy 👊🤡
Trying to win votes.. That's all..
Because they see it as a way to get SA out of the economic hardship. The only people that will suffer is ordinary South Africans. These ministers will go to other countries for treatment.
VoetsekANC! Your government is a failure. Anything you touch is a failure. NHI will be a ANCfailure!
NHI will fail it is corrupt to the core . Remember this tweet.
