NHI: Business gears up for possible legal battle as Ramaphosa set to make 'damaging' bill law

Business Unity SA has confirmed that it will consider legal action after President Cyril Ramaphosa signs the controversial National Health Insurance Bill into law this week.

"We fully support the objective of universal health coverage, however, the NHI Bill in its current form is unworkable, unaffordable, and not in line with the Constitution," BUSA CEO Cas Coovadia said on a statement ahead of Wednesday’s signing. In December, the National Council of Provinces voted in favour of the NHI Bill, paving the way for the president to sign it into law.

"Consequently, we will pay close attention to the president’s announcement on Wednesday, based on which we will consider our options," he said.
