Several people in net.followup recommended that those who don't
wear shoulder belts, etc should get reduced/no insurance payments
if they are hurt.  I suggest that we take this idea further
and deny blue-cross/medicade payments to smokers when they need
lung cancer operations.  And how about denying payment to those
who ate fatty foods all their life and then get heart attacks,
or need expensive bypass operations.  Maybe pedestrians who get hit
by an auto should get reduced payments cause they were not
wearing a helmet. Additionally, anyone who accidently touches
a worn electric cord shouldn't be able to get blue-cross payments cause
they weren't wearing rubber gloves.
ENOUGH SAID!
