Reward for membership = penalties

I've been a member of discovery health for the past three years up to the end of Aug. I started working for an international company that does not facilitate membership application to medical aid. I have to make my own application. Discovery South Africa wants me to join at a penalty membership fee and wait three months to access my benefits. I'm being PENALISED for being a member and wanting to rejoin. That's how consumers get ****ed over. Not me I'll rather die than accept their arrogance. Cos if I do accept I'm complicit in selling my own integrity which is a harsher death.
