Which medical scheme do you belong to?

Do you live in South Africa?

Do you support the amendments of the Road Accident Fund as proposed?

If NO above, What is your top concern(s)?
You may choose more than one option

Losing your cover under the Road Accident Fund and/or the significant limitation of benefits for damages suffered.

Increasing premiums on your medical scheme contribution.

Possible exclusion of accident-related cover under your medical scheme benefits.

Discrimination against citizens who have private medical insurance, despite their equal contributions towards the RAF fuel levy.

That uninsured citizens may be denied treatment from private practicing medical healthcare professionals because of having to pay for treatment upfront and/or the implementation of a “RAF-specific” tariff.

I am worried that a precedent will be set where other privately insured benefits would also be set off against future RAF claims (example life cover and cover for loss of income) or for other types of public liability claims.
