The DA argues that the NHI cannot proceed without a money bill from National Treasury and questions whether Treasury has been consulted. The proposed funding sources include reallocating departmental funds and medical scheme tax credits, ending civil servant medical subsidies, and introducing payroll and income tax surcharges. The DA warned that without addressing corruption and mismanagement\u2014issues that already undermine hospitals like Tembisa\u2014the NHI will not improve healthcare. Citing the R152 million oxygen plant tender managed by the Independent Development Trust, the DA accused the Minister of failing to act against irregularities and of not transferring the project to the Development Bank of South Africa as promised. The DA called for the withdrawal of the current NHI law and for thorough public consultations on achieving universal healthcare.     <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;TO BE EDITED &#8211; TEXT OF THE NEWS &#8211; BLOCK 2 &#8211; Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.
