No excuse for the Dip-$&!+ 21 yr old on his Crotch Rocket Bike who gets a closed head injury because he didn't wear a helmet and cost us all hundreds of thousands because he didn't get some coverage. He is not 10 feet tall and bullet proof and I don't mean to be cruel but what responsibility is it of ours to pick up his tab or cost shift to us via they do it pro-bono at the hospital?
Want to ride you missile bike uninsured? post $100,000 bond.
If you have a vehicle to nudge people back into a personal responsibility model vs. Obamacare we will take care of you please tell us, because the Newtonian / Heritage Foundation Model is the best we got.
