Review med aid and tarrifs-8.5% Jan 2026 increase-Pensioner 3.10%

Surprise or expected? 8.5% increase in medical aid premiums for LA Health Focus and others I presume. Pensioners on Cape Municipal Pension Fund got a 3.10% increase. Their argument inflation related. Is that a true figure given the increase we just got. Discovery with their monopoly and MediClinic prices has to be stopped.

If you are the view that if you had cancer it is God's will and you will pray but not fight it to the end.

Why make doctor's and Mediclinics more wealthy to live just a few extra months.

My suggestion if no family history. Take a hospital plan only. Save 10& for med expenses. 5% for emergencies.

Had R10450 in savings plan. Bought specs R6500. End of last year. R2500 for x-rays out of my savings plan. Back.

R2000 for pathologists to check if lump.on my neck was cancerous. Out of savings accounts. Negative. If no savings and it was cancerous who do I blame. Medical aid of course. Should have been covered by the hospital plan. They keep your savings and the interest. Something to think about
