Investor Presentaiton
• FACT #2 ... Evidence does not support the claim that laws allowing adult motorcycle riders to choose whether or not
to wear a helmet result in increased yearly health care premiums.
•
Supporting Data
• The most recent report of the Joint Economic Committee of the United States Congress on state by state premiums
looked at yearly health insurance premium payments through 2006.
• The average yearly premium in 2006 for single health care coverage in states which had mandatory motorcycle helmet
laws was $4,390
• The average yearly premium for single health care coverage in states which allowed adult riders to choose whether or
not to wear a motorcycle helmet was $4,335
Conclusion
• The average yearly premium for single health care coverage in 2006 was $55 more in states with mandatory
motorcycle helmet laws than it was in states which allowed adults to make their own choice on the issue.View entire presentation
