observer Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Well, I've made tongue in cheek reference to the Government's need to forget all this anti-smoking, anti-drinking and anti-junk food guzzling nonesense - and just let folk decrease their life expectancy - thus saving on their pensions. Well it seems the Insurance Sector are already there, offering cheaper annuities if your a drinker, smoker or overweight - thus the healthier you are, the more you'll pay for life cover! Seems when they brought in the pensions system, they totally mis-calculated the longevity of the pre-war and baby boom generations, there are now more over 60s than under 16s, so less folk to work to pay the increasing pension mountain. Well they've tried their best to solve the problem with C-diff and MRSA, but perhaps the next flu pandemic will sort it out?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
