1: Medical Aids- are non profit institutions managed by profit making administrators. It is important to know if you are talking to your medical aid and when you are talking to the administrator.

You are a member - shareholder of your medical aid and as such entitled to attend and vote at the annual General Meetings only shareholders are allowed to vote at medical administrator company AGM's.

Any profits made must be allowed to the medical aids surplus account.

Medical Aids must by law offer certain medical plans discounted to members on income bands.

These plans are not inferior plans but are prescribed by law and are subsized by medical funds. It is not at all uncommon for high income earners to choose this option and pay the full premium.

The benefit is identical.

Who pays what: always read the small print. And also by law in South Africa medical aid premiums cost the same notwithstanding. If you are 19 or 90 years old the premium is the same!

Medical aids do have the option to charge a late joiner fee to over 35's. But they can't "kick out"members who claim a lot therefore this is allowed in the US of A.

Medical Aids must accept everyone no matter how ill the applicant may be. (Do have the option to implement a miximum 12 month waiting period for benefits to "kickin".
