That's not what bothers me about it. It's the principle. He has set
a scary precedence whereby any other dickhead will now just suggest
that they jack up the Medicare Levy whenever they want to nickle and
dime us. That's what I am opposed to. Oh, and FWIW, I don't think
that the government should be in the compensation business.
