If you've got a motorcycle (or snow-mobile, etc) accident injury claim on your medical records, you may very likely find that Health and Hospitalization companies will not cover you in the event of another accident. Oh, they'll happily take your premium, but they will exclude any motorcycle related claim..
There is a Bill working it's way through the US House of Representatives to correct this.
The American Motorcycle Association has a "Rapid Response Center" on their Web site. It will only take you a minute or two to let your Congressman (Person?) know that you would like them to support the bill.
The link below makes it painless...they have a pre-written message (which you can edit, if you'd like), and a link that automatically e-mails (or sends a traditional letter). If you are unsure of who your representative is, they have that covered as well. You just enter your zip code.

That's a shame. I grew up in the Army, best family health care system I've ever experienced and if I'm not mistaken it was government controlled.

I did it. Almost one sixth of all Americans are uninsured. We don't need more.

Has anybody read this bill?  Does anybody know what else is attached to it that may double or triple everyones rates? What other activity would it cover? Actually the bill has been proposed in 2005,2006,and I think shelved this year. I don't think there is a bill. I think there are web posts about bills. I would like to see the whole bill, and read the whole bill before I agree with anybody. I can't find the current bill referred to anywhere. I can't find it on the legislative calendars.
On one side you guys argue about helmets costing everybody money when an accident happens then you want everybody to pay for your coverage every month if you crash. Which way do you want it?
This same legislation will open the door for mandatory acceptance by life carriers for stunt drivers, sky divers, heart attack victims, smokers etc.
You need to pass one bill! National Health. Do that and I will drop my $650.00 per month private health.

This is control of private health carriers and we could talk forever about the quality of care at the VA. Many may not agree with your good grades. (Walter Reed  etc.)

If I might make a point, please. Accessible family health care is about preventative maintenance not catastrophic restoration. You'll find the vast majority of preventative maintenance done by the VA, like covering my Vietnam vet dad's heart condition, to be quite adequate. The privatized military health system you now see isn't the system I grew up in...this has been a "market forces" adjustment by well meaning but misguided poltical operatives. My childhood doctors were officers in the Army at base hospitals and despite the reputation, they were quite good.

You are right about the past and the present misguided operatives that made horrific mistakes.
