The government is planning to increase NHIF payments for people earning above 100k.
NHIF is a service, not a tax. Why are they using people’s income to price it?
NHIF is an insurance service. Premiums in the insurance industry are calculated based on RISK not income.
Hustler’s government is planning to shaft Kenyans (middle class) by treating NHIF like a tax instead of a service. Your risk of getting ill does not increase based on your income, why should you pay more??
The real problem at NHIF is mismanagement, not low premiums. This is a clever way of stealing from the middle class through the backdoor.
Ruto is eyeing internal borrowing, that’s why he’s so keen on these fund. internal borrowing leads to credit crunch, as banks prefer lending to government than mwananchi.
Moi was keen on internal borrowing, and Kibaki wasn’t, hence banks were lending at very low interest rates,
If you have cow A producing 20 litres of milk and Cow B producing 1 litre wouldnt you want to keep the cow A healthy for long by ensuring its medical expenses are covered even for advanced treatments.
I dumped that crap called NHIF long ago. Unalipa 500 kila mwezi alafu ukienda hosi unaambiwa inalipia consultation pekee. Lab tests na dawa uko pekee yako. Na ati bado unachaguliwa hospitali ya kuenda. Ujinga wa hali ya juu. Kama we si civil servant achana tu nayo. Naskia bado civil servants NHIF inawapiga kitu sawa sawa. NHIF is another robbery scam.
Wacha ku panic, it might translate better services. More revenue collected more services and packages for the simple mwananchi. Makes no sense someone earning 1m deducted only 1,700/- while all the rest in employment earning below 100,000 per month are computed at 1.7%. if this money is properly utilized, and fraud minimized it can be the best cover, ata many will abandon their private covers. This is a social insurance scheme, the only way to improve services is increasing the revenue collection base. Bado watu wanalalamika they want better services but hawataki kuogeza pesa, na serikali pia haisaidii the institution.
Hio NHIF unadharau husaidia sana… Last year walilipa 250k for my mom’s operation ya mguu. Before that walikua wamelipa kitanda ya mzae akiwa na covid.
Those fuckers walitusave around 400k. Usikose kulipa
Hapo ni kweli but it is prone to corruption. Kwanza kama ni mtu maskini anafuata alipiwe treatment of some certain conditions, atazungushwa mpaka akufe
