The reality is that private health care in South Africa is expensive, as it is in most countries. If you want to access private medical services then you will either need to have a lot of cash, big credit facilities or a medical aid. The latter just makes more sense because it can allow you to access medical services for much higher amounts that the total premiums you pay per year.
And medical aid contributions are partly deductible from your tax. Plus some employers include a medical aid subsidy as a perk. But the bottom line is whether you want to sit in long queues at understaffed government hospitals and clinics or enjoy some of the best private health care in the world through private practitioners and hospitals in the country.

What happens to people who cannot afford medical Aid In South Africa?
If they cannot afford medical aid then in all reality they cannot afford to pay for private medical services. This means having to rely on the public health system - government clinics and hospitals. The cost of staying in a private hospital in South Africa for just one night is often more expensive than paying an average medical aid plan monthly premium. Most people just don't have the cash or credit to afford private health services without a medical aid. The odd doctor may be sympathetic and offer free services but no private hospital will negotiate if a patient does not have medical aid or cash in hand. At most, they will sponsor you a trip to the nearest public hospital.
