Q. Just curious.
Here in Australia it has been law for many, many years now & you can be fined.


Answer
Japan, New Zealand and Finland. In the US and Canada, it is left up to state/provincial and local governments.

Sweden, France, UK and Denmark are considering some type of helmet requirement.

What are the government proposed limits on "high risk" citizens?

Q. considering health care?

Will bungee jumping be covered? Will persons required to take specific classes and receive certification for certain sports? And will parent be put in prison for not providing their children with bicycle safety helmets which accidents cause increased cost for the community to take on as a burden?


Answer
No, no and no to answer your questions.

FACT - the USA spends more on healthcare PER PERSON than any other nation on the planet.

FACT - the US has higher death rates for kids aged under five than western European countries with universal health coverage.

That means that a dead American four year old would have had a better chance of life if they were born in Canada, France, Cuba, Germany, Japan etc, all of which have universal health coverage.

I think the last link is of most use in addressing your concerns.
