There are sub- categories under this main Discovery category, for:
Discovery Insure

Discovery Life
Discovery Vitality (although not the official name)
Any other information that doesn’t relate to these sub categories specifically, will be under the main Discovery category. For instance, any information on what Discovery is doing internationally (which seems to be more and more).
