This document summarizes the work of the Formula Consultative Task Team in South Africa to determine an appropriate formula for the country's Risk Equalisation Fund (REF). The REF aims to promote equity and solidarity in South Africa's transition to a social health insurance system with mandatory membership. The Task Team considered evidence and principles for choosing risk factors to include in the REF formula. Key risk factors identified were age, gender, births/first year of life, chronic diseases, and last year of life. The document also discusses defining the scope of benefits to be equalized and guidelines for REF operations and inclusion of different medical scheme types. The goal was to establish a formula that fairly allocates risk across schemes based on member characteristics.

The brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades divided control of the skies, seas, and underworld after overthrowing their father Chronos. Each realm has been ruled by these gods ever since, with sailors praying to Poseidon and mortals meeting Hades in the underworld after death.

Hoover believed the Depression would correct itself without much government intervention, in line with his philosophy of limited government and individual responsibility. As unemployment rose to unprecedented levels, he took some cautious steps like the Federal Home Loan Bank Act and Reconstruction Finance Corporation to provide emergency relief. However, his use of force against the "Bonus Army" of veterans hurt his image right before the 1932 election, in which angry voters punished Republicans over the failing economy.
