This @blackman is a frustrated tired soul, offering no insightful commentary. If what some people write here doesn’t impress you, please just pass or catch another bus. Full of cowardice by dropping your usual alias pseudonym. Take courage. Be inclusive. Bal-ly will surely fix it all for you.
Government won’t payoff or take care of Zambians who don’t contribute to NHIMA. Meaning if you don’t pay for your premium, no service. Your young ones receive free education without free healthcare. Enjoy your life.

A few to pay for the many is one point ??
you would also be surprised if you checked their monthly wage bill and running costs compared to the contributions.
Also as someone pointed out FRAUD by over inflated claims etc

The NHIMA accredited healthcare providers most times defraud government. They stock the fire by providing inflated amounts when claiming from nhima for services.

When you guys don’t know what you are talking, just keep quiet.

What’s the point of being educated for free and die the next day because I can’t pay for the compulsory healthcare? Every meaningful life is hinged on health and education. But better health makes it easy to learn. This policy contradictory incongruence must be corrected.

Our worry wasn’t about claims but the heavy management. Is it true that the Director alone is on K300,000 basic salary? The behavior of the informal sector reflects what’s going on in the nation. Payments for goods and services are inconsistent. Suppliers and contractors sometimes wait for months to be paid and even then buyers and accountants want a share of the same money. How does NHIMA expect them to be consistent?
