The truth about NHI exposed
AfriForum exposes why the ANC government’s motivation for demanding National Health Insurance is false.
It is all but certain that NHI will destroy the financing of the private healthcare system if fully implemented, yet the government seems okay with this, because in their view the private sector does not help the poor. However, there are hundreds of private clinics in townships across South Africa who focus especially on offering affordable healthcare to uninsured patients.
AfriForum visited the Unjani Clinic Diepsloot and found that many patients are willing to pay reasonable fees for private healthcare instead of visiting the public clinic, where service delivery is insufficient. Instead of redistributing healthcare from rich to poor patients, NHI will probably only destroy existing private healthcare offered to poor communities.

Wow, I am so impressed by this Nursing Sister and the clean and profecional look of her facility. SA needs more of this, not only in the local communities, but in rural towns. Well done Sister.

it is never about health services for the people. its about the money. focus on that and let that truth come out
Public Healthcare staffed by "compassionate" Healthcare workers!??? That's simply incorrect.

Exactly the point made in the video ...
Your understanding of the NHI Bill is so, so wrong. Its aim is merely to insure the bank balance health of National Health cadres. Cadres must eat, remember.
Well done. The community caring for the community.

I agree
NHI will never work in South Africa. Please the sooner this truth and fact is accepted the better. I had to be operated urgently and the state told me they would have to prioritise a gunshot wound over me and no one is coming in to operate me at night and the next day everything will solely also depend on the doctor. I left next day when a private doctor so my report and x-rays he said I had to be operated that same day. So it was a cash procedure. I just had this feeling I was going to die in a state facility. I would rather bust my rear end trying to figure out how to make more income so I can afford atleast a hospital plan or medical aid.
God bless Afriforum
If people have to pay for a service, even if only a little bit, it empowers them to take control if their own health. When things come for free, it will be abused or wasted.
Compassionate Healthcare workers 😂😂😂😂
So happy to be part of Afriforum❤

I think you misunderstand - what the author said was that it is the ANC who bases their bill(NHI) on a FLAWED theory that the people who get medical aid are rich. Not that all people who have medical aid are rich because we know they aren't. But you know, as well as I do. If the ANC want to believe an idea which is wrong - they will... and hell will freeze over before they open their eyes and see they were wrong.

Government can't keep hospitals running. I am worried. Can't see how they going to run NHI
Please I do not know where to take my concerns of the filth in our streets especially the urinating and the use of the streets as toilets what is the health department doing about this
Mission impossible.
I couldnt be taken care of in a private hospital because I didnt have medical aid and had to pay cash for my operation. I sold my car to do that. Then the private hospital doctor, made a bugger-up with my operation (my money dried up) and he sent me to a government hospital who fixed the bugger-up that the private doctor made at a tenth of what it would have cost me in a private hospital. At least I could pay my debt off on a monthly payment to the government hospital. So ---- all in all government hospitals arent all that bad, neither are private hospitals all that good So I dont care about NHI ... will make no difference to me

Do not generalize!! There are compassionate medical staff at public hospitals. My husband has been treated in the public health system for 23 years. He can write a book. Ranging from excellent to shocking treatment. There is very specific areas that the private medical system could assist in a helping hand. Procedures like joint surgery in urgent cases. Dentistry. These I an aware of.

@user-nv8th5mn9u younwere obviously lucky. An old tannie I know went to hospital and ended up having most of 2 fingers amputated. If they had attended to her in time, this would not have happened at all. She says she only had an issue with the one so doesn't understand why most of both were removed. They also said they were only removing the tip of one, not 2 joints of 2! They don't give reasons. Right hand nogal.
I was very ill for a few months.then went to king dingenzulu hospital the nursing staff Dr's everyone wer kind caring and treated me well .treatment was excellent I was back on my feet in no time .thx to all the staff.keep up the good work
The ANC can't run the country, how can they run the health care .??? Please stop this NHI . And leave it alone .
If I get in a serious accident, I can count myself dead because I can't afford medical aid. That is Reality for South Africans...

You are correct about the affluent medical aid members, I challenge you to personally attempt to get treatment in a private sector facility without finances

And if the government hospitals actually functioned effectively and hadn’t been mismanaged and neglected due to ineptitude and corruption, like just about every other sphere of government outside of health as well, then we would have had a functioning Nat health service, and little need for private healthcare. I am not affluent, but I manage my budget, (unlike the useless government) so I can afford medical aid.

This video shows a clinic that provides a private service for a reasonable amount, debunking the myth that only medical aid members use private healthcare, and that all private healthcare is unaffordable. Of course, surgery and severe medical problems are another ball game.
Heidelberg Gauteng doctors and nurses are great people ask me
The government hospitals can improve simply by getting competent people to run it. The facilities are there. Thankfully they were built by the previous government or they wouldn't exist. But the staff these days are just useless and have a don't care attitude. I receive treatment for a few chronic ailments at RK Khan hospital in Durban. The patients have to stand on the street , next to piles of uncollected rubbish. Then wait an entire day to be mistreated by uncaring staff including doctors. This past week I missed my doctor's appointment, and was refused treatment. Their words: "we have to punish you". I was given an appointment for 6 weeks time. Even the intern doctor refused to give my chronic medication. These people have zero compassion. They get paid, so they should do their jobs, and treat patients regardless of whether they're rich or poor. Instead of implementing a new system. Fix the current one. Simple.

5:51 I'm glad you are in Durban so you cannot be so irresponsible and tell lies on such platforms and say if the previous government hadn't built the hospitals they wouldn't exist. There is a Pixley ka Seme hospital between Inanda and Phoenix which was never there and there is Chief Albert Luthuli and eThekwini Heart Centre in Riverhorse,that new one in Umhlanga Yes the service in public hospitals is appalling and government should fix that first before imposing more tax on us with this bill, but we mustn't tell half truth for likes.

Semi private hospitals? Take away the private partnership from Albert Luthuli and see what happens. Compare the number of public hospitals built previously and now. Don't make it seem like the previous government did nothing. Sometimes you have to admit the truth.
I was in kathu limemed private hospital spend R4000 and i got same treatment. I had to wait long, went to see the doctor 11am then he sent me for xrays, after the xrays the staff said the doctor left. He will only be back @4:30pm
People know. Bread R80 a loaf, tinned bean R150 a can , one egg for R10. If sourcing of items will be directly from manufacturers, then it may make sense.
Your music is too loud so to hear what is said by helfcare and patiant persons
There are people here thinking NHI will be good... little do they know! Implementation of NHI will cost billions annually to implement correctly. The money is not there. So, get ready for excuses and problems. They can't keep the power and water running properly, how will they do here? Excuses and failure.
Scariest thing just hsppened my friend needed an operation Nothing major but just a little tricky. Unfortunately its been 5 days sitting in a very posh hospital he hasnt been able to have the op. The reason he couldnt was because there were no surgeons available in ethekwini to do the operation. That is becausr of the upcomimg NHI. Many excellent doctors and surgeons have left the country and more and more are leaving daily. So, do we need NHI? Definitely not!
NHI = 💩💩💩

The only "citizens" who will benefit from this bill will be government officials! They will steal as much as they can until ALL of the facilities collapse. There is a reason for ministers not using public healthcare, they know how underfunded they are, they are stealing that money already. Do you really want healthcare-shedding?
