Ridiculous increase in premium!!!!

<p>As a international student here in South Africa I am unable to work full time. I chose Discovery due it it's popularity in South Africa and I was so happy to find out that discovery has a special consideration for overseas students studying in South Africa. I have been so relaxed and content to know that I am on a medical aid I know I could trust and rely on....only to discover recently that I am no longer going to be considered as a student and my premium will be increasing from R290 to R914!!! This is ridiculous and I cannot afford this. I do not work here and amongst as the visa does not even allow this and amongst all other study and living expenses I am now faced with this huge premium increase!!! How can discovery drop This huge bomb on its members so suddenly. I now have to look at other Medical aids that offer affordable student rates just so that I can maintain my virgin active and insure that I am covered!!!!!</p>
