I would like the helmet law revised to allow those who wish to not wear a helmet to do so. However, the change I would like to see says that if you are not wearing a helmet while riding a two wheeled vehicle, then a insurance company is not required to pick up your medical costs.



Danny, I think you're opening a can of worms with that one. Right now there are employers and their health insurance providers that are denying motorcyclists coverage, even if they wear a helmet. Last time I checked, riding a motorcycle in this country is legal, and to deny somebody health insurance for doing something that's legal is wrong!

Once you go down this slippery slope, you open the door to all kinds of abuses. Next thing you know they're denying coverage for riding a bicycle, hiking, or any other activity that's riskier than sitting on your couch at home. And if you think it's just unfounded paranoia, you're sadly wrong.
