While your "Get out of the system everything that you put into the system", Big Boy concept sounds great in theory ... in reality, it isn't practical.
Each month you donate $ XX.00 to the SS system. Over time this would build up alright, however when you rack up your car or motorcycle, on life support and end up on the receiving end of the SS check .... I guarantee that your doctor bills will far exceed the measley amount that you donated to the system over the years.
I'd rather see my money payed out to assist people who at the very least took the minimum precautions to ensure they were protected in the event of a crash instead of the "liability" who chooses to ignore the LAW and still expects me and millions of others to pay for their negligence.
Seems immature and inconsiderate to expect that of someone else .

My brother rolled a very big four wheeler over backwards and the handle bars hit him right across the bridge of the nose an crushed his face real bad. He did have a helmet on and it was completely destroyed in the roll. As bad as it was, the doctor said had he not been wearing it, he would not have been in the hospital at all. He was still there for several months and had to have major reconstruction but the helmet gets credit for saving his life by absorbing most of the impact.
My mother had a good friend get killed who was wearing her seat belt. Her friend in the same car did not have a seat belt on and walked away from the wreck. The cop tried to give her a ticket for not having the seat belt on and she had a few words with him as you might imagine. There is good and bad in everything, it just depends on the circumstances at the time.

Or are you saying that it is your 'right" to be able to do what you selfishly want to do and not worry about who picks up (and pays for) the pieces.

if you are worried about tax payer dollar you need to pick up something that is much more responcible than this. take up something like gay men, i think there helth care cost is like 5 or 10 to one of straight men.

what a line of bs, face it you can't fix stupid but your ignorance may be curable. if you want to save money get ride of all the free loaders that don't pay their way. and if by some miracle evey one stoped having accidents this county economy would collapse.
