Many people argue that others not wearing seatbelts is costly to
them because of increased (direct and indirect) medical costs, and
so they want legislated sanctions forcing people to wear belts.

   I do not understand this argument in light of the number of
tobacco smokers in this country.  Tobacco smoking does much,
much more to raise health care costs than seatbeltless auto
passengers, yet the government continues to subsidize the
tobacco industry.

   If I must wear a seatbelt, then you may not smoke.
