OHHH, For gods sake...
ACC and insurance schemes/scams are NOT the same!
You are some strange apologist type...
Let me put it into words from your own mouth..
Church and God, not the same...
ACC and insurance, not the same...
Whats the matter with you?

ACC provides an insurance when you get injured...compensation is a financial compensation to a person..i.e. they get money...

I am sure there are a few scams with ACC....

Church and God....I agree are not the same but they are linked...

I am fine thanks...

It ain't ACI, it's ACC.....

and i have already payed over $5000.00 with another demand of $1000.00 to acc for the priverlage of working for myself, with out taking into acount acc on gas car and bike rego I think i could get a resonable privet cover for that sort of coin

To get the same cover provided by ACC would probably cost more via private if it was even available

Worst case scenario

Paraplegic

Mobility Van that you can drive $110,000
Wheelchair - $15,000 plus upgrades over years as you get older
Housing mods, ramps etc. $50,000 at least

Loss of income $a lot

Find a private medical cover that covers all that...

It aint the Anti Smacking Law either....ACC...it's just a chosen title but it amounts to the same thing.

It used to be Life Assurance but it's now Life Insurance..same thing still

Dont think so

Life assurance is when you are guaranteed payout
Life insurance you only get paid if you die in the term of your contract

Dont agree that the levies are fair either as we are singled out because its easy.

The $62 million figure that ACC was reported to have paid from the Motor Vehicle Account in the year ending 30 June 2008 represents the amount of money spent, in that year, on injured riders and pillion passengers of motorcycles for accidents that occurred from 1974 to 2008. It excludes the cost of acute care provided in hospitals and costs for claims that only require medical treatment.

So it covers residual & ongoing claims too, not just new. Good.

But where does the funding for the costs of acute care and claims that only require medical treatment come from? And what is ACC funding if it's not those?

ACC pays a lump sum to the hospitals to bulk fund their treatment of accident victims. But it's not broken down by person, too much work for the hospital system (not poking them , they're not set up to invoice on an individual case basis) .

No it's called Life Insurance now....it used to be "Assurance" as you are assured of dieing and they changed it to Insurance....same thing because you are insuring for an event.

If you have an accident you are guaranteed of payment....

We are singled out because we are a higher risk...so in essence we actually single ourselves out....no different to Workplace levies....or say Commercial Insurance where you pay higher premiums if you are a higher risk...so that's the way it is and we are not singled out...

If you chose to ride a bike you are a higher risk...no argument...if you are say a self employed welder you will pay more for Public Liability insurance...
