Disgusting Discovery....

One of the worst medical savings scheme to ever be on during the COVID-19 crisis is Discovery Health. You will truly discover how this ruthless, money hungry medical scheme that does not value its members. I had called in preparation of not receiving a salary in the coming months and I was met with the response that there was nothing that could be done. The consultant together with a manager and customer relation's manager (Trish Karrie) stated that unfortunately the COVID-19 relief benefit was only for those with a saving plan.

If you break this down, those would medical savings plan, pay a much higher premiums than the rest, so if you do not have a medical savings plan, then welcome to the poor denomination that has been sidelined by Discovery.

I went on the explain that I am a chronic patient and I have a life threatening illness and required my chronic medication. The manager explained to me, that the fact that the medical scheme is paying such a high amount for my chronic benefit as compared to the premium , is enough of an indication that they are assisting me.

So what do the lower income earners with no savings plan and no income during these months do?

What do those with life threatening illnesses do?

Discovery you are disgusting!!!!!! and a terrible representation of caring for people.

How do you suggest we get treatment? or start again at a government facility with hospitals only seeing to emergencies? What about the one year waiting period that you will impose when we want to rejoin?

Have you heard of vicarious liability?

We all understand that you are running a business and everyone cannot have a payment holiday/ break but THINK ABOUT THOSE WITH LIFE THREATENING ILLNESSES....
