The National Health Insurance Board (NHIB) says it intends to take to the airwaves in the near future to explain to the public how residents can qualify for coverage.
A spokesperson disclosed on television recently that employers must bring contributions for all employees up to date and must register their employees.
There is still no word on coverage for non-employed persons. However, as stated in the Throne Speech, the government has promised that the plan would be expanded to cover all residents.
The cost of healthcare in the TCI is reportedly consuming some 40% of government’s annual budget.
