According to Kithure Kindiki, the withdrawal of the Finance Bill 2024 has resulted in a significant budget deficit, severely impacting the Social Health Insurance Fund (SHA). This move has sparked concerns about the potential introduction of new taxes to bridge the financial gap. With the healthcare sector already facing numerous challenges, the uncertainty surrounding SHA's funding has raised eyebrows. As the government navigates this financial constraint, citizens are left wondering about the future of their healthcare coverage and the possibility of increased tax burdens, including potential income tax and health insurance premiums.
