Abstract
Globally, there are major shifts taking place in health care provision to achieve universal health coverage. In 2011, the South African Department of Health released a Green Paper outlining its vision for implementing a National Health Insurance (NHI). The NHI wants to improve the service provision and promote equity and efficiency to ensure that all South Africans have access to affordable quality health care services. Public participation is important to raise public awareness, consult the public and promote major programs of change. This research aims to analyze the gaps between the everyday lived reality of publicly provided health care consumers and intended health policy reform.
