Howie, I don't get the medicare thing. Isn't long term disability covered by your insurance. I have insurace. When I get hurt it pays and not the taxpayers. I also have a friend that got hurt a while back. His insurace ran out and now he has tremendous dept. No taxpayers are paying for him. If there is some program out there please let me know.
Personally I started wearing one for the last two years. I will say that it is a personel choice that was made because my wife was so stongly for it. Her logic was "you mountain bike with a helmet. You Ski twice as fast and do not wear a helmet. Is that smart?" Well I couldn't argue with that logic so we made a deal. I do not particulaly like wearing it and would prefer to just wear my hat.
The long and the short of it for me is why should Government tell me what I should do? It should be a personel choice and a freedom that is very american and not a law to be inforced. The opinios of other more conservative people should not be impressed onto others. Personal Responcibility is what it is called.
But that's just me......
