Waiting period imposed.

I have had uninterrupted medical aid for the last 12 to 15 years. Yet Bankmed has imposed a waiting period. They are underwritten by Discovery of which we are moving from yet they impose a 3 month waiting period to collect premiums without actually providing a service. This should be deemed theft. Not managing risk. If i move to Discovery or any other medical aid directly there wouldn't be a waiting period imposed due to my uninterrupted cover. How is this allowed to exploit employees. Are the HR directors of the Banks allowing this?
