Professor Agyemang Badu Akosa, a leading member of the Convention Peoples\u2019 Party (CPP), has stated that the one time premium payment of the National Health Insurance that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration is considering to pursue is an \u201cillusion\u201d.
\nHe told journalists at a press conference that \u201cI still stand on my word that the NHIS cannot be efficient if beneficiaries are to pay only once.\u201d
\nProf Akosa said the NDC\u2019s move to make Ghanaians pay health insurance only once in their lifetime was not feasible and that his research nationwide had proved so.
\nProf. Agyemang Akorsa, the Shadow Health Minister of the CPP, explained that currently only three percent of the about 65 per cent registered insured Ghanaians pay the full levy of the Health Insurance premium.
\nHe said \u201ca whooping 62 per cent pay little or nothing due to age, work and other related factors.\u201d
\nProf Akosa said the government should rather put up effective strategies to see an influential health insurance scheme in the country and stop playing politics with the scheme.
\nProf .Agyemang Akorsa expressed regret that the country was yet to witness total transformation after the 28 years of rule by both the NDC and New Patriotic Party and added that a vote for the CPP to power would mean a new generation of change and development for the nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
