    No I don't. That question just goes to prove my point. You have no idea about how you and I benefit from a healthy population. The fact of the matter is that ACC is a public good. Everybody benefits equally so we should all pay pro-rata based on income. ACC should be funded directly from the main tax take. This would remove any argument of fault and apportion the cost equitably. After all, ACC is supposed to be a no-fault system. You're advocating bringing even more fault in to it.

    If the original principle of ACC was adhered to our reg would be much lower under the current levy model anyway - the same as for a car.

    Which was exactly my point. The numbers can't be disputed. Their meaning can.
