Accidents, sudden illness, and injuries can happen to anyone, regardless of age
You’re young, you’re free, and you’ve just landed your first real job with a decent salary. You’re also healthy, you exercise regularly, and follow a balanced diet. So why spend your hard-earned money on medical aid instead of a new car, travel, or entertainment?Accidents, sudden illness, or injuries can happen to anyone, regardless of age. Without significant savings for medical emergencies, medical treatment costs could leave you with a mountain of debt.
“In our experience, the two main reasons young people – even those in their thirties and forties – delay taking out medical cover are the cost, and thinking it’s unnecessary,” says Koena Molekoa, Senior Manager: Business Development, at Medihelp Medical Scheme. “However, waiting too long could end up costing you more, and you may not have the cover you need when you need it.
Even if you start with a basic plan, at Medihelp we believe that medical aid should be a non-negotiable item on your monthly budget – one that will benefit your health and financial well-being now and in the long run,” Molekoa concludes.
