Yep it is the honest Joe's that work and pay taxes along with medical bills that offsett the cost of scraping up whats left of uninsured free spirits off the road and paying for everything from the ambulance/fire crew, roadway cleanup, police presence and even the burials. Unlike some foriegn countries hospitals in the USA have to treat emergencies even if ability to pay can not be established. We all pay in the end for these me-first bums who only care for their own desires and moments pleasure with total disregard for others. Most times no matter what you are doing there is some ripple effect that impacts other people either in a positive or negative manner.

You would be surpised how many free spirits here in Florida don't realise that niether their Motorcycle PIP or General Health Policy cover riding without a helmet or some minimum amount of safety gear such as DOT helmet, motorcycle jacket, long pants, over the ankle boots and motorcycle gloves. When they wreck they are in effect putting their hand in my wallet to pay for it.

$1,300 is not realistic amount today for emergency room treatment after a motorcycle wreck, you will more likely need to add at least another zero and multiply that amount anywhere from 2 to 5 times.

A friend got bumped off his bike in a low speed incident and it was a full month in intensive care, half of that in an induced coma. He did not get run over or directly hit either. He only had a 3/4 helmet, short sleeves, long pants and sneakers. He then spent a few more months in the hospital and then 6 more in hospice and now after several months at home is barely walking again. He was lucky as the other parties insurance covered him since they were at-fault otherwise it was well over a $100,000 bill that someone would have had to pay.

It does...since I pay TAXES to support the irresponsible!
