No health insurance, but cell phones and recreation and who knows what else their pay must be spent on. Cannot drive a car to the slope without insurance. So they do not pay the ambulance bill and the seven hundred taxpayers who support the EMS service pay for the fun of having fun with no insurance.

(Being from Virginia, I didn't ski until college and about the only thing I had going for me was a belief in my immortality.)
