Momentum Health Solutions says the state won't need to raise additional taxes to fund the primary care rollout of NHI if it allows the private sector to expand to low-income demographics.
The hullabaloo currently raging in the medical schemes industry over low-cost benefit options is by no means a new issue; it dates back at least seven years.
Momentum Health Solutions says it will fight for the continued existence of low-cost medical and health insurance products to help SA achieve universal healthcare coverage.
Health insurance products are not a substitute for medical scheme membership, as they do not offer the same level of cover and protection that medical schemes do.
