Daily Maverick readers have sent us many questions — some excited, some anxious about the NHI fund plans announced on 15 May.

The NHI Bill has been signed into law by President Cyril Ramaphosa but will take decades to implement.

There is ample reason to be very sceptical of our government’s ability to ensure the NHI does not become a huge feeding trough. We also have a very strong civil society, media, and judiciary that has repeatedly stopped health corruption. Hope, trust, and solidarity are important currencies to hold at this time.The Dunning -Kruger effect is palpable in Ramasofa and the rest of his beaming incompetent ministers.

Recently in the The Daily Mail UK it was stated by the NHS that if Britains ate fish once a week it would result in a GDP 70 million saving to the NHS. We would have to save several lifetimes earnings to have enough to pay for all healthcare eventualities. People in the US and SA know it when the medical aid cuts care coz moneys run out. People in the UK know it especially when they learn about other systems. We all depend on eachother.So your answer to everything is dont worry – its 30 years away? Thats a terrible answer. The fact that this travesty was ever even considered to be viable is what we should all be worrying about.

It’s not that the NHI as a disruptive system is the concern. It’s just the lengths the ANC will go to, to stay in power. If he was serious about improving healthcare for all, he would do something serious. It’s not the bill. In the same way that the visit to Iran coincided with their bailout from bankruptcy, and the same move that the German Nationalist Socialist Party did in the 1930’s: find a reason for everyone’s problem: the Jew. We are headed for an ANC/EFF coalition.

You have just been told that you must hand over your house and car to the government. But, don’t worry, they only gonna come for it in 10-15 years. Great stuff…
