Can the President and the Speaker of Parliament please confirm that all government deployees (Metro/Provincial and National) will be required to exclusively make use of the NHI services and that their privileged current medical aid scheme(s) will no longer be funded by the taxpayers?

[@adrianjones7197]

That would betray their Russian/Iranian /Chinese/ Cuban benefactors and ultimate real beneficiaries once it comes into fruition

[@elizevdberg9903]

There is nothing worse than having to listen to ignorance

[@FirstCenturyTheology]

Few people pay tax, even less pay medical aid, unemployment is getting worse, SEOs are failing. Unbelievable

[@andile558]

taxes will go up

[@insanitywithin1]

It's about stealing money

[@johnledwaba8551]

Absolutely correct

[@ethanrogers7457]

Doctors can’t be employed because of budget constraints and this grandpa answers the question of where the money will come from for NHI by saying they will prioritize. Dr Matthew Lani is going to be very busy

[@GarySwan-of1mj]

If the government could only fix the current government hospitals, then general health care provision would not be a problem

[@jacqueslombard3829]

It is not coming from the taxpayer, it is not coming from the bank, it is coming, wait for it, " it is coming from the budget " ! ahhh what a sigh of relief, the good old budget !

[@Blue686t]

Never disappoints lol

[@user-hn1hv1xc6m]

Will politicians and their families get medical attention in S.A. or will they go to Russia or Cuba

[@EinadManhoff]

Transforming you say - like you transform a swimming pool into a fire pool - whow

[@sedgyd]

Nope….they are only good at transferring something good into something totally useless ….

[@sedgyd]

NHI is about transferring the public health sector from a barely working sector to a totally failed complete sector….🤣🤣🤣

[@elizabethspoelstra4978]

We are struggling with water issues noe and hospitals are in shambles. How will govt govern when they can not even have good health services now. Is this another failed project. Jack up the current hospitals and show improvement before adventuring into new projects.

[@tshepisompala2236]

Bonang said it .. yal must resign!

[@sirroche4639]

socialism

[@adrianjones7197]

worse- communism

[@claradamons399]

We hav a health dept that cannot function.

[@MikeSmith-hi2kl]

"Majority of South Africans still do not have access to health"....please can the follow up question be "Why is this Mr Minister?" I want to see something

[@user-xz5vg6tc3j]

Please it will be more taxes which will ho to eskom...n every other com...

[@siphosangweni]

You had the same drive towards etoll- you are exporting ideas and they are eating at the taxpayer.

[@johnledwaba8551]

Hospitals and clinics are short doctors and nurses and they are collapsing. Where will the money come from?

[@sthemaz1175]

ANC is a joke

[@jennychurchill2716]

Typical ignorant ANC cadre. Fire him.

[@csabraxas]

"Where does the money come from" YOU AND ME.

[@wilmahechter266]

😂 theft

[@melanyrodrigues3418]

Taxpayers will fund this.🤬

[@insanitywithin1]

Lies

[@TheRickyricardo1987]

Pack your bags and go!!!

[@joecruiser]

Guptas?

[@Ginger4789]

Corruption also a human right 😂😂😂😂

[@azizj]

New piggybank for the politicians. Eskom, Transet, and SAA has been milked dry.

[@maxwolfcraft9573]

Equal opportunities for the corrupt ONLY

[@lexsimmer3827]

Misleading title of the video. He said it will come from Govt budget, so it means it will come from tax returns. Less than 10% of the population pays tax, thus those people will be funding NHI

[@Ginger4789]

After 30 years it’s a human right 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ranjitbhana8745]

Is this the MINISTER of FIRE POOL????

[@user-THEUNKOWn]

THE TOTAL COLLAPSE BEGINS

[@user-fc2mb1eb7x]

The real issue is poverty and inequalities. NHI does not address the problem to why majority of our people do not have access to proper medical care. I would have used NHI money towards creating jobs, first. Simple logic - Job creation over nhi.

[@nomalungelongcete5875]

Yhuuuuuu uNxesi Bawo 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Mnxim

[@csabraxas]

Why don't they have access to health? Whats wrong with the public hospitals that are run BY YOU?
People literally dying in the hallways of public hospitals because of ANC incompetence and corruption.

[@eugenemarais4441]

As usual...we all want to share in the benefits but not in the taxes

[@thulanintshwanti7869]

Thulas Nxesi can only explain a firepool.

[@timtam9646]

Everything is systems and processes. They have failed to maintain the existing hospitals and even collapse some of them .What equal opportunity? The private is a business entity and public hospital are government owned. There is a difference Mr Labour Minister. The budget will come from tax payers

[@user-ez9en7vk2z]

Mandela children's fund will pay....
🙈🙉🙊

[@CRM083]

That's because no one knows. Even the president msalufi 😂
