Should I put my sister on my Medical Aid?

[veniqe]

If I do so, I'd have to pay for it in full as my company only pays half of my portion. They won't pay hers as well.

It won't really make a massive difference to my budget and that's why I want to do it but it will certainly affect it.

I want to do something more than just subscribe to Seventeen magazine for her. My other sister (the pregnant one) is on her boyfriend's Medical Aid so she's covered. My parents; however, aren't as they earn above a certain threshold and I may not sponsor them.

I really couldn't say.

What do your parents have to say about this idea? What of your sister?

How old is your sister? IF she's an adult, she should be reimbursing you for her medicaid... if she's a minor, your parents need to either reimburse you or cover her themselves.

My parents are poor. They used to have medical aid back in the good old days. So they can't afford it now. My sisters are twins and they are 17.

They're still at school. My Medical Aid will allow her until she's 21. I suppose she can reimburse me but that's not the point. I'm the one she nags for airtime! :)

Why are you only putting one of your sisters on your health insurance? Or is the PG one one of the twins?

If she is 17, you can't expect her to have a job, sorry. I thought she was in her mid 20s for some reason.

If it were I, I'd suck it up and pay for her. But, then I live in a country where to be uninsured is pretty much a death sentence. I don't know how it is where you are.

Shimma, read my first post. The pregnant one is on her boyfriend's Medical Aid.

I decided to give it a go and put her on. And I also subscribed them to another magazine. :)
