Disgusted

Upon starting a job at a new company they required me to switch my medical aid to discovery. Only to find out I will be put on a 3month waiting period. How ridiculous when the whole world is in the midst of a pandemic and they expect new members to go 3months without benefits. I could die of covid at any time during those 3months while they take my money each month n dont pay any of medical expenses. I called Bonitas, Fedhealth and Camaf and they all told me there will be no waiting for me when I join as I have been on a medical aid over the last 90days. Im very disgusted that during these times Discovery is still more concerned about making money then saving lives. I have decided to stay witn my current medical aid and rather lose my employers medical aid contribution, my life is worth far more

Well your answer is just that its standard to have a 3month waiting period. Well its not standard for me to be without medical aid
