Sorry, Chairman, I wish to make an additional point. People earning €200,000 are paying 50% of their income to the Revenue Commissioners every year. Such people are paying €100,000 in tax every year. If they had insurance, they would make a claim and that would not be means-tested. We are talking here about people who do not have insurance. They were denied insurance which puts them into a very different category.
