I agree that people who do not choose to wear seatbelts should probably be able to... as long as they pay more in insurance rates.

Frankly, it's kind of pathetic that you even need a law like this instead of relying on people to care about their own self-preservation independently.

A great argument against socialized medicine, by the way. I don't want to pay for other peoples stupid health choices or be overregulated in this arena either. People should be able to smoke, eat cheeseburgers for every meal, and ride a motorcycle without a helmet, but I don't want to pay their medical bills.

Can you actually believe that we have people who argue AGAINST individual freedom and responsibility for the citiznery because some abuse it and because we have some socialism in place?

'Wait, we can't ALLOW you to do that because it adds casts to our socialist system.'
