Strange logic threatens health jobs

I FIND it quite amazing that after all their time in office the Government appear to be suffering from tunnel vision (not the Dublin kind).

Strange logic threatens health jobs

They have had long enough to assess the outcome of their plan to impose risk equalisation on BUPA and it now seems this outcome would be disastrous.

If risk equalisation is, as the Government states, “the only logical solution,” then the ultimate logical solution should be that non-smokers should not subsidise smokers, non-drinkers should not subsidise drinkers, non-drivers should not subsidise drivers, thin people should not support fat people and, of course, young people should not subsidise old people.
