Default AMA backs bill to end health insurance discrimination against motorcyclists

The AMA is urging motorcyclists to contact their members of Congress in support of two bipartisan bills that would end health-care insurance discrimination against motorcyclists, ATV enthusiasts, and participants in other legal recreational activities.

Here's the article -> http://www.brainbucketmagazine.com/N.../sid=1158.html

Get contact info for your reps at the AMA Rapid Response Center.

Contact your reps even if your insurance company does not exclude motorcycles.

The legislation was not acted on before the session expired and has been re-introduced.

HR 1076 and S 616 aim at closing the loophole in HIPAA that allows insurance companies to exclude claims for medical expenses due to motorcycle, ATV, boating, and general aviation accident injuries.

Don't let the insurance companies dictate how we lead our lives.

Unfortunately I'm in Illinois' 5th. Emanuel was too bust getting Pislosi in her position and is now trying to ram the every child health care bill down everyone's throat. Children of illegal aliens take precedence to motorcyclists, skiiers, water skiiers, snowmobilers....... who ACTUALLY pay for their health care!
