The Davis Tax Committee (DTC) on Thursday invited public comment on the Department of Health’s (DoH’s) White Paper on the proposed National Health Insurance (NHI).

Written submissions, touching on the funding of the NHI as covered in Chapter 7 of the White Paper, can be sent to the department until October 14. This will be followed by a workshop for oral submissions in support of the written submissions on November 1.

Chapter 7 is of particular interest to the DTC, as it discusses various proposals to finance the proposed NHI, which is set to cost R256-billion in 2025.

The DoH proposes that tax revenue be raised to meet the health expenditure requirements.
