Thank you Carolyn for your advise, but I ALREADY wrote my letters weeks ago 
when this first came to light!  How about you? 

And just to give you some food for thought, look at it from the other side.  
Let's just suppose I am a birdwatcher, I pay for health insurance, my cost 
are reflected by the risk the insuror has to take covering everyone else, 
i.e, horseback riders, skateboarders, motorcycle riders, off road enthusiast, 
mountain bikers, and on and on.  I would not think it fair that my insurance 
costs as a birdwatcher should have to cover other risks!  I don't like having 
to pay a higher premium anymore than you do, but WHY should my co-workers ( 
have the same amount deducted from salary) who sew quilts on the weekend have 
to cover my risk as an equestrian? Once again, I don't like the idea of a 
seperate policy or higher premiums, I don't even know if thats where this 
whole issue is going.
