Not to start a rant about insurance companies but
don't anyone cry for the poor insurance company "picking up the tab".
In my experience Insurance companies make more than the doctor's performing
the care that is needed.
People pay into insurance companies month after month and then when they
actually need the coverage most companies will try their best to avoid
paying as long as possible by insisting that it was filed wrong or some
other stupid reason. Many doctors have been run out of business because of
lack of payment on the part of the insurance companies. And it isn't like
insurance is free so no one is "picking up the tab".
The problem with the idea of "unsafe activities" is,  who gets to decide
what is safe and what isn't, as soon as you give an insurance company a way
they can discriminate...Look out!

my two cents too

    I enjoy horse back riding as well as other Dangerous activities. It make
sense to me if you enjoy something that puts your life endanger and possibly
could end your ability to provide for you or your family (if you have one)
The individual has a responsibility not to do such an activity. Our society
(mundane) has given up good sense Thinking someone elce should pick up the
bill for our fun.
    Should insurance companies pick up the tab? That will be taken up by the
supreme court. From what i read it will be headed there the day this goes
into effect and from what i know of the constitution it will be upheld.
    Not to put a damper on things but this should be in the mind of  every
person who participates on the field.
What we do is dangerous. We can only limit the danger. We say our sport is
Football like but that is rationalizing.
 Life is all about  risk, you weigh the risk, then you live your life.

In service
