    Absolutely agreed. Nobody, or very few, would be able to pay for all of their medical bills in extreme cases. It's a matter of helping yourself, and then looking outward. Like someone else said, using the system that was created as a safety net as it was intended, not depending on it as a primary method of receiving care. -s _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    Definition of Agnostic - a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience. It does not mean that you don't believe in God, just that you don't know what the nature of it/he/she may be. -S -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    The reality is that they will never be able to pay the entire debt. That does not mean, though, that they have the right to walk away from it completely. -s _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    Like write them off completely? Screw the doctor that saved their lives...it's their god given right to skydive, and it's his god given responsiblity to use his hard earned education to treat this person without payment. As nice as it would be to be able to walk away from them completely, I can't buy into that mode of thought. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    Nope! You are irresponsible if you get hurt doing something that is risky and expect not to be held responsible for the bills. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    It was at Elsinore. I never heard about WC at Perris, but don't know if it was something that may have been offered to the full-timers or if I just didn't know. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    Did you want everyone's full financials to qualify them for this discussion? Or would you like to just continue to impose what seem to equate to unfair judgements? Technically, what I said was not that they have to do it because I can...I said that I was there, made my choices and lived with them...I expect you and everyone else to do the same. I tore my ACL a few years ago and it was paid for with workmans comp that I had paid into. Had I not had that, I would not have held anyone else responsible or thought that anyone owed me anything for making the decision to be a professional skydiver. I can say this with certainty, because I forgot that I had WC at first and came to and was ok with the realization that I was going to have to pay for this out of my pocket. It was only later that I was reminded that it was going to be covered. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    Have you never lived with roommates? Good lord! You make it sound like a Nazi Death Camp. I've lived with roommates for 7 years...not because I don't make money, but because I choose to spend it other places than on double rent for living alone. For me that is skydiving, travelling, etc. For another, it may be insurance. Point is that we make decisions, and nobody puts a gun to anyone's head and tells them that they have to be a skydiving instructor without benefits. They didn't put a gun to my head when that was my life, and I didn't hold anyone accountable but myself. I'm not sitting on a high horse telling other people how to live, I am speaking as someone who was there, made my decisions and lived with them. -s _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    How many of those people are skydivers? We began this discussion regarding health insurance for skydiving instructors...not burger flippers at McDonalds or people who work in fields picking strawberries. I'm not telling anybody what they CAN or CANNOT do. I'm just saying that if they choose to do it, then they need to be responsible for the possible outcomes. They are welcome to do whatever they want, but not hold anyone accountable but themselves. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    You say that as if there is something wrong with it. I see this as a perfect example of an exchange. "I could live in a small place by myself and not have health insurance, or I could live in a 3 bedroom house with 5 other people and have insurance". That's called making a responsible decision. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...

    It comes down to the fact that whether it is right or not, in this country we are responsible for our own health care. That is whether we find it through a job, or we pay for it ourselves, or apply for the state aide that some here have mentioned. We make choices in life, and when someone chooses to take part in an extreme sport and additionally make that their living, they know the risks. As such, one SHOULD have health insurance. If it's important enough, you find a job that provides it. If it's not, then you don't have the right to look at those who have chosen another path to pay for it for you. That doesn't mean that you have to make 6 figures. I made $20k a year and my employer provided it when I worked in the skydiving industry. If you chose a career or an employer that does not provide insurance, you are aware of the risk, and you need to be responsible for that risk. -S _____________ I'm not conceited...I'm just realistic about my awesomeness...
