Yep. Piece of cake. After all, everyone can afford private health insurance. Rolling Eyes

That's what the frikken thread is about isn't it? Private insurance? As Wokka points out, Medibank IS private health insurance. Geez David, get the blinkers off.

Touche, but it still reduces options and may force people into more costly operations. You'd have to be a pretty hardcore capitalist to think this is ok.

There was nothing wrong with the Samantha Fox "Touch Me" thing back in 1986 though....

I would have happily followed that instruction, even though singing was not really Sam's biggest talent.

Just for the record, 16 year old Sam Fox.



Tap that i would.

I'm sure Stui being the gentleman he is would invite her girlfriend as well to calm any nerves Ms Fox might have had!

Just for something slightly off topic but very interesting. In Mexico they have introduced a calories tax, anything which is over a set number for calories at 100 grams is subject to 8% tax. They are a bunch of fatties, the Mexicans.

But here lies the stupidity, my companies factories make a pure protein ingredient, which is subject to the tax, even though it has no sugar or fat and is not a final food.

Sugar is exempt.

Go figure...

Give all of the fat people cigarettes, guarantee in a few months they will be well on their way to being skinny. Then when they die suddenly the medical cost is minimal and we have solved the cost issue.

Problem solved.
