AfriForum calls for urgent action on affordable medical aid [SOUND]

# AfriForum says it’s time South Africa gets cheaper medical aid options. This follows a Council for Medical Schemes report on low-cost benefit options. AfriForum agrees that the current framework has flaws but urges implementation rather than further delays. Spokesperson Louis Boshoff says 24-years of research and no approval is unacceptable. He argues that public healthcare and the National Health Insurance can’t fill the gap.
