    There may be some persons who are in that category, but, in my opinion, they may be just as well off if they could have recourse to an unfettered and tax preferred, health savings account that is not mired in as much red tape as it currently is.

    What excuse would some have for not taking better care of themselves, if they could accumulate health care dollars on a tax preferred basis, without needing an HDHP to accumulate those dollars?

    Selling out to America is very Australian! :-D

    As for the Danes banning Vegemite, HERETICS! BLASPHEMERS!

    I suggest waging holy war on them to force every Danish child to eat our sacred vegemite (and the lesser marmite)!

    We've already infiltrated the royal family, now we're just biding our time. :twisted:
