I'm not really sure what this has to do with the issue at hand, but what the hell.

Yes, if it means my tax money has to pay for your treatment if you get an STD.

No, if you drown or blow yourself up, it probably will not affect me financially.

:hmmm:

The % chance of you dying in a car accident goes up quite a bit when not wearing a seatbelt. The other things you mentioned, not so much.

I missed where your tax dollars pay for my funeral?

So, are you saying that the only person you care about is yourself?

no my insurance does that...same way it does if I get in an accident and mangle myself

No don't get me wrong, I wear my seat belt and I always have but having the govt force me to when I see it as a choice is overly irritating to me

Of course, after your insurance company is done paying out yours and thousands of other dumbasses medical and/or funeral costs, they feel it is necessary to raise rates for ALL of us.

Is it that big of a inconvenience?

But they do that anyway you can still get hurt wearing your seatbelt and even if you are not hurt everyones rates go up when they have to pay out the nose for replacing the other persons private property that was damaged be it a car or house or ....it is like pouring a shot glass of water on a house fire BFD

So, those of you that don't think the government has a right to tell you to wear a seatbelt....if you don't have health insurance, should hospitals be able to refuse you treatment for injuries sustained that would likely have been prevented if you'd worn a seatbelt?

Just curious....:hmmm:

Yep it does, and once again, then WE ALL pay more for our insurance.

No I hate the government deciding what is best for me...if you are too dumb to wear your seatbelt you deserve what you get...if you want the government to micro-manage your life then so be it but I prefer a hands of approach....like I said where do you draw the line? Condoms? How much money could be saved by the Insurance companies each year if everyone used condoms and stopped the spread of HIV, Hep A, Hep B, Hep C, Ghonnoreah, Clamydia, Herpes, HPV, Syphillis, Genital Warts ETC ETC ETC

How much money could be saved each year by the insurance companies if people didn't get sports injuries?? OMG BAN FOOTBALL!!

Shit happens, that's why we all have insurance, but at the same time it would benefit us all to keep losses to a minimum.

But they do it anyway because #1 you are still most likely going to be hurt and #2 you still jacked up someone elses property...say you were driving you new H3 hummer and slam into a Mini Cooper @ 40 MPH which sends him flying into the front doors at 7-11 the insurance company pays out $1 million in just property damage to repair and replace what you jacked up you will most likely NEVER pay that much in CAR insurance in your life...then what happens if the guy in the Mini Cooper was wearing his seatbelt but you jacked him good he is in a coma in ICU for 5 weeks at $75,000 a day!!!! OMG ...like I said it is pouring a shot glass of water on a house fire


how much you think the insurance companies pay out in damages when there is a car chase in LA?

Wow, you're totally missing the point, and I'm running out of ways to make it. It's NOT about saving the insurance companies money, it's about saving ME money. They base their rates on what they have to pay out, therefore the less they have to pay out THE LESS THEY HAVE TO CHARGE ME.
