Is the taxpayer paying for the endeavor? Someone goes out in a flooding river in a kayak and needs to be rescued, they should have to pay the tab. I run white water rivers. When one of us types screw up, we or the insurance we pay for has to recover the boat. Is not the local emergency responders that do the recovery. |

And are you claiming that your insurance claim is not shared with everyone else when their premiums go up to cover your losses? |

I would be dead before the local responders arrived. The insurance rate is calculated on losses for the type of boat. Probably less loss on our boats per boat than the local Chesapeake boaters. Seems as if you guys are getting insurance to pay for new motors, etc. |

It isn't in today's DNC talking points. I thought the response was silly...boat insurance rates are calculated on many factors, not just the losses "for the type of boat." |

If you're caught in a river and have to be rescued, who's going to pay the local responder? Your insurance company? Not a chance. If someone's child is critically injured, the EMTs will be called. They don't ask for a credit card before they treat someone, at least not yet, but that might change if the right wing nuts get their way. |
