It’s a bad, sad day in South Africa when your government doesn’t cut its spending or act on its gross corruption but rather chooses to tax its citizens more.
Today marks one of the many nails in the coffin of SA.
One thing this year has shown me is that nginenkani, I am very resilient , obstacle after obstacle but I never hanged my head to give up. On top of the grace of God - inkani yami fought. I fought.
Prayer purifies motives. If you are unsure, it doesn’t matter what, just keep submitting it before God for as long as possible. You may not get the response you desire but God will help you think more clearly about the issues in your heart. Just give it time and leave it to God.
Here’s some (not so sensational) facts 🙂:
1. People can’t just call up any dr & say “I’m an NHI user, please see me.”
That is not how it will work. Drs have a choice to opt in to be NHI providers.. and those who do opt in, will provide the service to those who want to use that option for health care.
- E.g. I can opt in to be a provider in the suburb where I work currently.
- There’s also a limit to the number of patients I can see / have on my book as “patients I’m responsible for” in the demarcated area
>>> see how this will lead to availability of spaces per day/ week/ month? It’s not the “fault” of the provider to be booked out, it’s the system. Ask the brits & how that’s working for them (wait times of 6months or more to see a GP - even to treat basic things that you can’t foresee in advance…)
If say I’m allocated 5000 patients in a 20km radius of my practice, those patients need to register on the NHI system or physically at my practice and select me as their provider - so I can’t see people who are not “my” patients. Medical aids already do this… patients are encouraged to select primary GP drs and see them primarily or they don’t get full benefits.
i am exactly where the creator needs me to be. i may have bigger ambitions and goals but at this moment, i am where i should be and im grateful for that.
solange cooked when she said “i can’t be a singular expression of myself, there’s too many parts, too many spaces, too many manifestations, too many lines, too many curves, too many troubles, too many journeys....” i felt that.
