You may also be missing another point. The 350 (sic) is not used for the development of healthcare infrastructure. My understanding is that this responsibility falls under the ministry of health.

From my earlier post you will note that the middle class (indeed all NHIF members) benefits by getting a rebate of 1,700/- per day for inpatient care regardless of whether you are admitted in a public or private hospital or whether you are paying cash or using a private HMO scheme.

The use of sic can be seen as an example of the linguistic device of appeal to ridicule, whether intentional or not, because it highlights perceived irregularities. The application of sic with intent to disparage has been called the "benighted use" because it creates a "false sense of superiority" in its users.

Sounds like typical nairobi middo crass

Mindro krass dont expect to get anything from their 350, infact their employer caters for them and some even have private arrangement with Resolution health etc.

So for someone who is bila employment or some pretty income, a 350 health insurance is really something great.

My problem with this thing is that it might get the private medical cover for middle level management and low thrown out in favor of the dreaded NHIF cover.

BBI will solve it :)

Me think @pariah was rather de-usered quite soon, his behaviors still belongs to that group.
He has never learned a thing yet!

NHIF is an insurance fund. You are insuring against hospitalisation. One does not normally benefit from insurance. Otherwise if the fund or indeed any insurance company paid out all premiums to members, it would collapse.
