After Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina view of making NHIF mandatory to all Kenyans, Netizens storm the social media each explaining how NHIF has been distress despite paying monthly contributions.
Kenyans opened up on how the NHIF has been siphoning their cash with minimal assistance in the hospitals.
NHIF has been on the spot with various scandals. Scams rocking the agency makes Kenyans worry on the Senator sentiments.
" First, make it possible for those already covered by NHIF to get services from any outpatient (OP) facility provided that the facility is NHIF accredited. Imagine falling sick while say in Mombasa and your OP facility is in Kisumu! It's not making sense if you ask me, " NHIF Jeruto user said.
My husband has been paying nhif for more than 4 years and has never used the card,some weeks ago he went to the hospital he had chosen as an outpatient n was declined since he is not employed by govt yet nhif chargers him more than 1500.

Most hospitals especially grassroot level refuse NHIF card, they prefer to cover civil servants... The few that accept the card most only cover bed only, it beats the purpose of the scheme... You need to do research on the ground, the card only helps a few..
