The end of medical aid as you know it in South Africa

The end of medical aid as you know it in South Africa:
The revised National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill published on Thursday (8 August) shows that there is little space for medical aid schemes as we currently know them in South Africa.

While minister of Health Dr Zweli Mkhize had previously hinted that medical schemes would play a secondary role to the incoming NHI, the revised bill shows that there may be little room for these multi-billion rand companies to manoeuvre under the new system.
