As far as insurance, they don't have a magical money tree either- all the money used to pay your "extra" medical bills comes from other policy holder's pockets. What you pay in taxes and insurance premiums does not even come close to the amount that is paid out on your behalf.
Go ahead and do what you wish as far as wearing your belt is concerned. Your decision, not mine. But you should get your facts straight about who suffers based on your decision.

actually the insurance company DOES have a money tree...ME, i've been paying in...way more then i should for the 10 yrs i've been driving..i've only once ever gotten anything back and that was a meager $1000 when my car was hit by a deer
only one of the accidents i've been in were in any way my fault..and that one wasn't even really bc it was mechanical failure w/in the vehicle....so i think my insurance company would owe me anyway...
and like i said..i pay taxes as well..so i have as much right to the services that they are used to pay for as anyone else
