The party has raised numerous concerns, most of which stem from the nationalisation of healthcare. Here are the DA's five concerns:

The DA also lamented that South Africans will have no choice but to use the government healthcare system, as private healthcare will be contracted by the state. The effects of this, among others, is that healthcare will be under no pressure to improve its services, as there will be no alternative services available for the consumer.

Holding provincial structures to account will soon be a thing of the past, since the bill will see all hospitals being managed at a national level. This, says the DA, will also kill community-based healthcare, which forms part of primary healthcare. The consolidation of government and private sector funds is another concern expressed by the DA. This, they say, will"collapse" the private sector and the economy.
