NHI White Paper proposals unaffordable‚ says DA

The proposals contained in the White Paper on the government’s proposed National Health Insurance Scheme (NHI) are simply unaffordable‚ the Democratic Alliance says. DA spokesman on health matters Dr Wilmot James said on Sunday that the party’s initial analysis of the proposals‚ most if not all of which were not new and had been circulating about for two decades now‚ presented some intractable problems that must be solved for the initiative to have any credibility.
