See my post #325. Saving over a half a trillion dollars in medical costs is not a bald faced lie.
How is a seat belt law different from a speeding law? They are both safety issues, they are both personal decisions and they both affect other peoples safety. Socialism has nothing to do with either of these laws.
Why is it OK to have speed limits, but not seat belt laws.
Tokra, the lie comes in when the insurance companies pocket the price savings rather than passing on the savings to premium payers.
What BS
Socialism has nothing to do with either of these laws.
Correct, it's NANNYSTATISM. And modern liberalism.

One violates others rights, one doesn't.

"Why is it OK to have speed limits, but not seat belt laws."
You can't be serious.
In case you are, let me put it this way: the purpose of the government is to protect our borders from invasion and protect us from each other.
The speed limit satisfies number two. The seat belt laws are out of scope of the purpose of the government - at least they are in a free society, which we clearly are not.
If you don't know the difference between a seat belt law and a speed limit then this conversation is pointless.
