Discremination against Security Industry

I was contacted by Affinity for medical aid insurance went through the whole process only to be told that because I work in the Security Industry they cannot offer me medical aid insurance, they will cover my Wife and child but not myself. Apparently it is too much of a high risk for Affinity health to cover someone working as Security or with firearms.

Hi,

I have been contacted by Affinity again stating there was a misunderstanding and that I am now allowed to get the policy as I do not carry a firearm because I am a Site Manager.
Glad this was sorted out, thank you Affinity.
