Discovery Health - Discriminating Pensioners!

I am Mario Carboniero, a Discovery Health member for over 13 years now, I am the main member of a family of 4. My father, a 70 years old pensioner, is also a Discovery health member with his own plan. At the end of 2023 his monthly fee was increased from ZAR2100 to ZAR 5600 with absolutely no reason. Once I called their Call Centre to query the reason for the increase, the answer was because he can afford it. I have asked if comms were sent to him and the response was yes, then I asked where the comms was sent and the Operator responded saying "I am not sure because we don't have an email address on file for your father." I was suggested then then by the operator (to make things easier) to move him on my medical aid plan with the rest of the family, I have tried that and he was rejected because he gets a good pension. Is this a joke? Is Discovery turning into another non sensical Home Affairs business. If that is really the case, Dear Discovery, you are going to lose 5 customers in one go very soon. Pathetic service and Product. I am already looking into other Operators to move my family away from this joke of company.

not mentioning the hours on hold to attempt to talk to someone without any success. Third world service.
