Abstract
South Africa's greatest health news story for the past decades has been the HIV / AIDS pandemic. The next great story, which will remain headline news as it unfolds, will be National Health Insurance (NHI). Changes envisaged for the USA and South Africa have similarities; both suffer from escalating health care costs, poor outcomes for expenditure on health care, and fragmentation of services.
