Furthermore, there are other parts of the body that bikers can injure
in an accident, which may cost as much to treat as a head injury. The
reality of all this is that someone with political connections is
making money off of the forced purchases of helmets.
As I mentioned before, the concepts of freedom and liberty that we're
supposed to have in this country are not supposed to be conditional
upon the economic cost of such freedoms to certain businesses and to
taxpayers forced to pay for socialized medicine. Such things are only
costly to taxpayers because politicians decided to force the taxpayers
to pay for the medical costs of treating others.
