Riding withouth health insurance?

Does anyone ride without health insurance?

And for those that have it now, would you, if you lost your health insurance?

In MI if a motorcycle is involved in a collision with a motor vehicle (A mc is not considered a motor vehicle)then the insurance of the motor vehicle pays for all medical bills no matter who is at fault. Now, if no car is involved then you better have medical coverage which is in addition to the basic mc coverage. I wouldn't ride without it, that's for sure.

Thankfully, I have always had medical coverage.

Not having any wouldn't keep me from riding though.

I didn't have medical insurance while unemployed. I rode but very little. And didn't race or do track days.

There have been a few times when I was without for short periods of time. I still rode as it was my economical transportation, but not near as aggressive or as often.
