'The NHI is here - I have found my pen' - Ramaphosa

If the DA is wise, they would go cape independance. We no longer need nor want to be yoked to a racist neo marxist oppressor and pay them tax.

In the final message on the blog above, Minister Phaahla is noted as saying, "Phaahla: We want to say to all South Africans, this is a process. When it’s ready, you will be informed. The medical aids will be told when they are no longer relevant. Keep your medical scheme, everything will be transparent.". The fundamental problem with the NHI Bill is that there has been a fundamental lack of transparency- the cost implications and funding model have not even begun to be worked out in detail, and the taxpayers are going to be saddled with a likely whopping and completely unaffordable increase in tax. This is completely unacceptable to place a deliberately and completely unquanitifed burden on taxpayers through legislation. Also, how medical schemes will operate in conjunction with the NHI to provide services that are not covered by the NHI is also not still not clarified. It is also completely inaccurate to refer to "free health care services", tax payers are already paying for all of the public health care services, and now will be paying vastly higher taxes to pay for the implementation of the NHI, which the government is completely incapable to implement, and which will be subject to massive looting and corruption. The government repeatedly ignores and dismisses these very legitimate and fundamental concerns.

It is time to pack my bags and leave this country!

What a disgraceful bunch. I want to read a newspaper once without having to read of incompetence as is evident by irresponsible cheap politicking. South African people don’t want to be beggars for life they want to sustain themselves. They are tired of couch stuffing corrupt leaders. I pray for our beautiful country.

I think it is the right thing to push for accessible/affordable healthcare for all. which i think we would all accept where it not for the fact this government has failed in everything it has tried to do - number one and two of which are gainful employment for people and security. this bill is easy to sign...because the government doesn't have to do anything other than sign it and hope they can collect the money. Use your vote wisely.

Not only do they try scrape the bottom of the barrel, but drill a hole in it.

So can Minister Phaahla tell Panyaza Lesufi to stop lying through his teeth to people that on the 30th of May they can walk into any health facility and get free treatment? Can Ramaphosa tell Lesufi to stop lying for votes? Can we, as voters and taxpayers, call Lesufi out for the disgusting liar that he is? A populist liar with no interest in the people other than to sustain his EFF-lite policies. A duplicitous, lying crook who hates ordinary South Africans. Lesufi, your own president and health minister have said you're a liar: do you have the decency to admit it?

For signing this, may the President suffer from permanent constipatiom, or the reverse.

He found his pen! How did he do that without f*****g something up?

NHI is ANC Bank funded by Iran for reporting Israel to the ICJ, and is not to be trusted.
