I also was unhappy with medical aid cover and I phoned around and I appointed a broker she found me a plan that suited me and she saved me a few BOB as well.

ALL medical aids are a sham. You will never get blanket cover for an affordable price. It is a tradeoff how much you want to get..

It does depend a lot on your own assessment of your health and your dependents.However in my own case I believe Medical aids are flawed due to corruption in the system-only way you can win is if you become a crook and put in false claims as many mant people already do.Consequently I opted out-i also use a lot of alternative practictioners that med aid does not cover anyway-I do have hospital cover.

You get what you pay for... I'm with Discovery and I've never had any problems - only top service. They are the only medical aid with a AA rating in South-Africa. Proof that they are the best medical aid in the country. Full-stop. You can try fund all these things yourself, but you'll regret when your wife as premature twins and you have to fit the bill for R1.1 million. (BTW, I'm a Java programmer... and a lecturer...)
