Now that America has picked Obama to change things, and He is promising universal health care, what would happen if He goes after your freedom to not wear a helmet?
It is conceivable that the Liberal Logic (?) will conclude that since helmets reduce injury or the seriousness of injury that in turn helmets will reduce the COST to treat accident casualties. America voted for Obama Care and the government take over of health care could very well mean that reducing costs in order to provide cheeper premiums will be a priority. The government may as well raise taxes on fatty foods so people won't eat at burger joints there by helping prevent heart problems that wind up burdening the health care system. The government is allready doing this with tobbacco, and booze.
It is said to be carefull for what you wish for. Everything has its price, Freedom aint cheep, and if you want freebees from the Government be prepaired to pay for it. I hope the freedom to Not wear a helmet isn't sacrificed for the good of the people for lower health care costs.
