The National Health Insurance Plan (NHIP) is dedicated to your health and wellness. It will provide you with:
• security and peace of mind
• high quality care at an affordable cost
• state of the art facilities
• access to local and international medical professionals
The NHIP is modeled on social principles. What does this mean? That:
- the Plan will provide equity and access for those who need medical attention, not just those who can afford to pay for it
- the contributions of those who are better off will pay for the care of those who are more vulnerable
- the contributions of those who don't need medical care will help to pay the costs of those who are sick
This is fair and equitable, because all of us may get sick at some stage in our lives and we want to be protected from having to sacrifice our homes and our savings to pay for medical expenses for ourselves or our families.
