The DA will present parliament with 87,000 written submissions it has collected on the National Health Insurance Bill, and is insisting that these and all other inputs are scrutinised directly by MPs rather than being outsourced to a third party.
All the submissions should be scrutinised by the National Assembly's health portfolio committee itself and not outsourced to a potentially politically aligned third party, she said. Gwarube said the party supported the principle of universal health coverage, but the “deeply flawed” NHI Bill was not the right way to achieve it. The bill’s provisions for the establishment of a central fund that would pay for services left it vulnerable to corruption and it did not address the systemic failures of the public health system, she said. The DA had no doubt that the NHI Fund would befall the same fate as every other cash-strapped state-owned enterprise, she said.
