Madam, – Having saved for old age, I have a reasonable pension in my 70s. Therefore, my medical card is taken away. Because I have no medical card the pension company writes to me that, under Government compulsion, they are further going to deduct a levy from that pension.

My humble savings, a contribution to paying off the gamblers who lent to Anglo Irish Bank, how proud I should be! – Yours, etc,
