NHI Petition

We, the residents of Ward 27 in the City of Ekurhuleni hereby petition against the NHI.

We call upon the Portfolio Committee of Health to assist in ensuring our voices are heard against the NHI.

The NHI Bill, as it stands, will not provide universal healthcare to us the people of South Africa.

We REFUSE to pay an extra tax, over and above all the taxes we currently pay, to fund the ANC’s National Health Insurance.

We will NOT travel abroad for specialist treatment because the NHI has driven our best healthcare practitioners out of the country.

We will NOT let the ANC-government decide what healthcare we receive. We should be allowed access to private healthcare if we want it.

The ANC government should NOT be allowed to manage the NHI fund like any other State-Owned Entity (SAA, Eskom, PRASA, etc.), giving the Minister of Health sole discretion of how the funds are used.
