Not everyone over 70 years is retired. There are those over 70 in paid employment who are taxpayers. They may not comprise a large number, yet the position on their medical card entitlement under the terms of this and previous legislation is such that they are being evaluated on the basis of their gross pay, not their net pay. I use the term "pay" certainly-----
