As we try to plot a course through significantly lower economic growth over the next 20 years I suspect the costs of people neglecting their own health
I discussed this point with someone some time ago, they pointed out that I liked to ride bikes, surf, snowboard and do other risky things that others may not do day to day. So where do you draw the line at negligence? They were a smoker, so may be that’s how we got onto the discussion.
In NZ they have the ACC levy on things, if you have an accident or are injured it pays for your treatment and you can get compensation if you can’t work. Injurylayers4U etc, just doesn’t exist there, third party insurance is only needed for damage to property. In fact when I was there, car insurance wasn’t legally required. Places like ski resorts have to contribute to ACC and I think you pay it too through tax on earnings..can’t quite remember.
The bloke who’s being refused a visa doesn’t meet the requirements for said visa. He can go away, lose the weight and probably get the visa again. He’s not obtained citizenship and then being asked to leave is he? He’s a migrant worker and there are visa conditions he needs to meet.
