Don't be so sure, my once new car is coming up for a 10th birthday with
extremely low milege.

Last week when I asked for the mob, from whom I bought it brand new and
  who have serviced it ever since, to check on a  noise, their diagnosis
was "the noise wasn't unusual for  the age of the car!"

Responding to your later comment about seat belts...these are required
by regulators...and I am not sure whether Americans still have the right
to choose not to wear them..in which case the emergency department and
ambulance should have the obligation not to treat them in an accident.

The problem of using the analagy of a car without the framework (RTA, 
Insurance, Health Support, Vehicle Manufacturers, Oil Companies, Public 
Transport) is like saying you have a single user computer you are not 
going to connect to the Internet or a LAN or a printer or a camera or 
anything else.
