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.

I'm going to be starting a new job a mile and a half away from where I live. I'm thinking abut getting a bicycle. How much should I expect to spend? Include helmet, lights, etc.
Answer
ESTIMATED COSTS:
helmet $25+ (USA sold helmets are all tested / approved)
lights $50+ (probably not good idea to be cheap here)
bike $50-150 (used 10-speed road/mtn bike)
spare tubes: $3 or less ( always have spares )
patch kit + lever: $2 + $3 ( master this to save $$$ )
puncture resistant tires: $50+ / pair
U-lock: $25-40 (get newer models from kryptonite brand)
look to spend ~ $250-350
OPTIONAL (suggested)
general bike maintenance manual: $10
mini multi-tool: $10-20
drink cage + bottle: $12
SHOPPING (saving money):
buying a used bike: craigslist.org (great site for locals ~ free)
buying all other stuff: performance bike (retail store nationwide)
ebay is also a great place to compare prices when shopping at retail or bargaining with sellers on craigslist
if you plan to buy a new bike, usually buy it from a local bike shop than a retail; retailers tend to be less personal and won't help you if you have problems later. A good store might help you on craigslist!
note: better quality bikes are easier to take apart, therefore, easier to maintain / fix - cheap bikes are mostly proprietary and need a lot of "custom" parts most of the time.
