Doesn't everybody have a very thorough paper examination for 'previous' illnesses, or if you are predisposed to illness, or anything thing that will make them want to say no, they will say no thanks.... well fuck you very much. The same applies to this, "If we don't believe in freedom of speech (health insurance) for the people we despise (think 'might' get ill), then we don't believe in freedom (health care) at all". So if they say wearing your seatbelt is mandatory, then if you are hurt, and you weren't wearing it, then perhaps you are not covered, or maybe not completely?
Redshift, I've seen that video, pretty graphic, looks quite real.
BTW, did you guys know that making it illegal to cell/text and drive has not done anything to accident rates? Why? People don't want to give it up, mostly young crowd. I for one think everyone should SHUT THE PHONE UP when driving, I don't want to be hit by someone who strays off into my lane because they were 'distracted'.
