NHI Funding Model Dead in the Water

Dear Editor

The Minister of Health, Aaron Motsoaledi, has never been forthright on the NHI’s funding model, despite countless opportunities to do so and an advertising campaign.

Motsoaledi’s NHI programme has proven to be solely ideological and to the detriment of the working class.

Minister of Finance, Enoch Godongwana’s, recent comments ought to be the death kneel of NHI in its current iteration, after Godongwana describing it an “attack on the middle class” due to its proposal to scrap medical tax credits.

Alongside numerous litigation cases and broad disapproval from the private sector, there is considerable consensus against NHI.

NHI will not better healthcare for South Africans, but rather remove subsidies while deteriorating the quality of care.

Minister Motsoaledi must put his pride aside in the interests of our country and revise NHI from scratch.

Regards

Michele Clarke MP
DA Spokesperson on Health
