I ask myself what will be the difference between the current government Hospital heath care and the new government proposed/approved new (NHI) National Health Insurance? Nothing. It is just another way to make the public responsible to provide healthcare for the poor.
For the last 17 years the hospitals and healthcare instruments that were in place has been plundered and run down by incompetence of those that were placed in charge to administrate and run the health care institutions. Many of these were closed because of poor administration and the remainder of the hospitals and clinics were left to deteriorate to such an extend that they were rendered useless.
Private business initiatives driven by Carteblance and other charity organizations made upgrades and improvements possible to help carry the burden that were supposed to be that of the government! The one thing the current government know how to do well is to create instruments that can be abused by it's officials to drain the economy in order to line their own pockets.
If the ANC Government wants to provide good healthcare for the poor they have to carry the financial responsibility for such a plan. The NHI should exists in society so that they can provide a decent government medical care plan for the poor who cannot afford such basic need for themselves.
