Discovery Medical Aid - What a trap

We currenty pay over R12000.00 per month for myself, my son and my daughter on Discovery Medical aid. On the 12th August 2025 we rushed my son to the emergency clinic with severe chest pains. After the treatment and pain meds the doctor referred us to a cardiologist. Only to find out even if you take your children to Emengency Discovery still try and pay from your savings. My savings are exhausted due this nonsense so we have to fork out over R 1700.00 for the emergency consultation. Then to add more salt to the wound we then see the cardiologist today who performed a full heart check to then be hit with a bill of over R 7000.00 because discovery would not pay the cardiologist. This is trully highway ******* of consumers and we will not hesitate to change medical aids in the near future. Such a disgrace of people's money going towards greedy pockets.
