This subject has been posted before but it is still an ongoing battle. The February issue of AMA has an article in regard to a company that choose to deny health care for motorcycle-related injuries (to both employees and their dependents). Plus, this particular company wouldn't make good on its employee life insurance policy if you were killed in a motorcycle crash. Unfortunately the company is within it's rights under the current laws. Outrageous!!!
Being in the health care industry, I know how devastating physically, emotionally and financially an accident can be.
If you don't belong to the AMA, go online to read the article.
You can also respond to your state representative/senator on proposals for laws to end discrimination for health care to individuals participating in recreational activities, like motorcycling, horseback riding, snowmobiling and all-terrain vehicles.
You don't have to be a member of AMA to respond. Here's the website:

It only takes of few minutes. You can be a responsible rider without even turning the key!
