DA to present alternative plan for universal healthcare in SA

The Democratic Alliance will on Monday present the party’s alternative plan for universal healthcare in South Africa.

The plan will be presented by DA leader Mmusi Maimane‚the party’s Shadow health minister Wilmot James and his deputy‚ Heinrich Volmink‚ in Cape Town.

“Our mission is to build an inclusive society where everyone has access to the educational and economic opportunities necessary to get ahead in life. A critical step on this journey is to guarantee universal health care for all South Africans.

“This plan is the result of extensive consultation with academic and industry experts‚ and we believe it is a much better offer than the national government’s plan‚ National Health Insurance (NHI). It can be rolled out sooner; it is far more affordable; it is fairer; and aspects of it have already been shown to work in practice‚” the DA said on Sunday.
