I am 100% sure that if the National Health Insurance does in fact become the health system we need to rely on, a lot of our excellent surgeons and doctors (those that remain) will leave the country by emigrating.
I think the people of South Africa will end up in a much worse healthcare system than in England. I can see it now, the daily struggle where patients will need to wait weeks if not months, before getting proper treatment!
The National Health Insurance is a failure in the United Kingdom . . . what makes us think that it will work in South Africa?
We do not even have the disciplined governance or infrastructure to keep the power on, never mind a healthcare system like the National Health Insurance.
It is another big move for South Africa that will inevitably become bankrupt due to fraudulent activity and stealing. Like De Ruyter observed the Eskom-saga as “a feeding trough” for those in charge of these national governing institutions.
And again who will suffer?
The people of South Africa . . . the people who pay taxes and politicians for their lavish lifestyle and salaries.
