I have no issue with that, but this person's friend is using up my tax dollars in health care that wouldn't not have happened without a scooter involved, whereas that money is much better used by somebody who is being treated for some random illness not self-inflicted for example.

She has two plates, 21 screws and pins and something that looks like a bike chain holding her calcaneus together. I suppose she could have tripped and done the same thing. But again, if it's abnormal, then it's an issue.

Similarly, I also firmly believe smokers who get lung cancer should also be on the hook for their own medical bills.
