>>As long as I don’t have to pay when they scramble their brains, then you are correct.<<
I remember having an argument with an officer of the Cascade bycycle club back in the 1980’s. He was a proponent of bicycle helmet laws and I was more, ah, libertarian on the issue. He used that same argument.
I asked him what he would say if someone proposed a law to ban bicycles from our highways and they said, “I’d be against the law if I didn’t have to pay for the health costs of bike riders (even wearing helmets) that are injured in accidents with automobiles.”?
The real problem is that we all have to pay into it, and it opens the door to outlawing everything from riding without a helmet to skydiving, rock climbing, heck, even hiking.
It is none of the government’s business unless the activity endangers other people directly, e.g. driving while intoxicated.
Fight the socialism, not the bikers.
