I spent majority of my life without a medical aid, with all due respect to my parent's i just don't think they could afford it in my younger years. So growing up i learn't to deal with the pain where most would run to the GP and on the rare occasion a long wait in the public hospital would suffice. Up until i started working full time, medical aid was compulsory. It served it's purpose when necessary, however i felt it was alot of money being spent on a "what if" Now eight years later i have a new job which does not include medical benefits... I rode bmx through out my teen years and we were the helmetless generation, it's surprises me how my bones stayed in one piece over all those years. My elbows and knee's could provide hour's of stories! Up too current times, i recently purchased my first MTB and have had a few people say "i hope you have medical aid" every time i log into ROAG site for even't entries, i get a pop up asking for my Medical aid plan and number. It's playing on my mind and want to know your opinion's.
