    "content": "above 18 years, just like you are entitled to an identity card. When an accident happens or somebody gets sick, you just flash the NHIF card, and the next hospital becomes your rescue centre. I like this Bill as it has been designed to ensure that the NHIF is efficient, sustainable, available and accessible. What we are not saying is how we can invest in our health system because at the end of the day, the NHIF becomes a Governmental organisation or a parastatal. The drafters of the Bill should ensure that in the long run, the NHIF becomes the umbrella body that streamlines the Kenyan health system, so that the Government invests in it. Money from the National Treasury should be put in the health system so that we do not see the NHIF just as another parastatal that people go there to loot, but functions like the British, Australian or American system. The danger we are running into is that as Members of Parliament, we are lucky to have a health cover, but a majority of our population cannot afford to join any insurance scheme. For that reason, to remove the burden of citizens from the leadership and the haves, so that everybody can carry their burden, we need to invest in a system that will eventually take care of all."
