The HIPAA Recreational Injury Technical Correction Act

[Rob Schwartz]

Right.  We generally buy something like "25/50/10," which means maximum
liabilities of 25k/person, 50k/occurence, 10k for personal property.

$856 last year for 25/50/10 coverage on the VFR all year, the DRZ through
August and the FJR from July onward.  I'm gonna' need to look into raising
that, eh?  That could go pretty quick...

The aforementioned bill relates to health insurance rather than liability
insurance, though.  I imagine one can buy as much liability as one wants.
It's being denied by your health insurance provider of benefits initiated by
a m/c crash (or other "risky behaviors") that's the problem.

socialist republic of Canada(tm), the insurers must pay all rehab
costs/medical expenses and lost wages(from a generous calculation chart)as
long as necessary.

As I read it, the loophole already exists, allowing ins.cos. to deny
benefits based on circumstances surrounding an injury.  What we're hoping
for is that the referenced resolution is accepted to close that loophole.

Theiving insco. bastards...

This the basic bullshit reason they give us in Ontario why our motorcycle
insurance is so high on the organ donor I am riding.  Its $882.75 this year
for public liability & passenger hazard only---the bike has no coverage at
all.  A new 1000 V strom with every thing but collision or upset is $475.00.
I can only ride 6 months of the year.  Hell!! the insurance on my Tacoma is
2/3 of the bike and it has total coverage 3 million liability $100.00
deductible comprehensive and collision.
You'd be smart to fight this as the insurance companies will have a field
day with it.
And Rob--Please let me know if this does become law, as I'd like to invest
the last of my Rubles in your insurance firms.
