# Sakeliga has filed an application in the Pretoria High Court to overturn the National Health Insurance Act, arguing it effectively nationalises healthcare and bans private medical schemes. Sakeliga joins hospitals, medical schemes, and professionals in opposing the Act. The organisation warns the plan would require a 30-percent income tax hike, risk a fiscal crisis, and drive skilled medical practitioners overseas. The organisation calls for its repeal to protect South Africa’s healthcare system, economic stability, and business freedom.
