industry. Fewer casualties means much less work / profit for hospitals.
Also repair shops - very little accident repair work.   BillK

Dr. Smigrodzki might know the answer to this.  My guess is that car
accidents make very little impact on hospital bottom line profits.  They
probably did at one time, but with improvements in tires, anti-lock brakes,
increased use of seatbelts and universal front seat airbags, I can imagine
the ER sees way more patients with diabetic complications now than proles
who have damaged themselves upon the steering wheels of their Detroits.
