The introduction of this suffocating monthly insurance premium is an affront to the service personnel's liberty. This is so because, no prior consultations or what so ever was made with these "supposed" beneficiaries before the compulsory introduction of these suffocating insurance. Even the National Health Insurance Scheme is not compulsory but has given room for individuals to either join it or resort to a different Insurance cover of their choice. There is no scientific evidence on the number of service personnel who are peridically involved in varied levels of accidents and sickness to warrant such compulsory GHC15 monthly insurance cover. The service personnel would therefore be left in bewilderment after his service with nothing to rely on.
