AMA Needs Help Fighting Health-insurance Discrimination

roadracingworld.com

The American Motorcyclist Association is seeking support from all Americans involved in outdoor recreation to end health-insurance discrimination against people who pursue a wide variety of activities, including motorcycling.

The AMA has worked with a consortium of recreation groups, including the All-Terrain Vehicle Association, the American Council of Snowmobile Associations, the American Horse Council, the BlueRibbon Coalition, the Motorcycle Industry Council, the Motorcycle Riders Foundation and the National Ski Areas Association, to address this issue. After years of effort, that group has been successful in getting "The HIPAA Recreational Injury Technical Correction Act" introduced in Congress. This bill, designated HR 1076 in the House and S 616 in the Senate, would bar employers from discriminating against those who take part in legal recreational activities when it comes to the health-insurance programs they offer their workers.
