Senate Wants Mandatory Health Insurance For All Nigerians by agwom(m): 6:28am On Feb 18, 2020 |
The Senate yesterday called for mandatory health insurance for all Nigerians irrespective of their social status. Chairman, Senate Committee on Heath, Senator Ibrahim Oloriegbe, made the call in Abuja at a public hearing on a bill for an Act to repeal the National Health Insurance Scheme Act 2004 and to enact the National Health Insurance Commission Bill.https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/senate-wants-mandatory-health-insurance-for-all-nigerians-2.html 11 Likes 3 Shares

It is a nice proposition, but since it will be about helping the poor, it is dead already 69 Likes 4 Shares |

Senator Oloriegbe is ill informed. Maternity admission or treatment is already made free in all PHCs all over the country, anti-natal is free also, hence lack of health insurance couldn't have been the cause of high natality. General insurance is for those who have a positive balance sheet and not those who live from hand to mouth as the most Nigerian do. This can only work IF health insurance is ridiculously cheap naturally, not on the basis of being subsidized by government, that will be another way to make the government poor the more. Other way is to make sure available medicine and medical facilities are in good shape. Combat importation and sales of fake drugs as well 18 Likes |

It's a good proposition and it will go a long way in helping Nigerians. But i doubt it if those shallow minded senators from the poverty infested North understands shit about this. Little do i wonder, that this is coming from a southern senator and not another senator who thinks having four wives is worth boasting of. 9 Likes |

With a health sector in coma? Why can't they start by construction of 3 world class hospitals..... Spilt specialities across the 3 hospitals, with general medical care provisions, in all 3 hospitals? The only way this can work is, all public office holders, must NOT seek medical treatments abroad.... Buhari included...... They love to always carry the cart, before the horse..... We already know this proposal is DOA...... They give you fictitious health insurance schemes, while they buy top of ranges 35 million Toyota Camry's 2020 model.... (each).... Nigeria is finished.... 7 Likes |

The benefits should be clearly highlighted and it should very affordable so that all can benefit. I shouldn't have to say this but this being Nigeria I feel I should, so here I go.. The police should be made aware that this is not another avenue to setup pedestrian checkpoint to ensure "compliance" and "collecting Roger" from defaulters. |
