A critical discussion of the right of access to health care services and the National Health Insurance Scheme

Thesis (LLM. (Labour Law)) -- University of Limpopo, 2013 / The South African government gazzetted the Green Paper introducing the NHI on 12 August 2012. This policy seeks to progressively realize the right of access to quality health care services for everyone. Those who cannot provide for themselves will be assisted by government at the expense of the elite. The NHI was first recommended by the Taylor Commission and it has been under the discussion since then. Since this announcement, there has been growing pressure for mandatory health insurance to be included in the development of a comprehensive social security system, as was envisaged by the Taylor Committee of Inquiry. This discussion was further debated at the 52nd conference of the African National Congress (ANC) in Polokwane in December 2007 where numerous resolutions were taken with regard to the NHI. The Freedom Charter of 1955 and also section 27 and 28 also provided some guidance.
