As far as I understand, injuries to the driver of the motorcycles are not covered by their liability insurance, they're covered by health insurance. . . . Michael Atherton Prospect Park
Only if they have health insurance. (Which is dropping toward only a 50-50 chance, nowadays.)
We have an entire state hospital wing devoted to cyclists without insurance, riding without helmets. All paid for by our tax money. It's officially called the TBI (Tramatic Brain Injury) ward, but the nickname used within the hospital is the Harley-Davidson ward, since the great majority of the patients here came via cycle accidents.
I visited there a couple years ago, when I was consulting for the State Hospitals on computer systems. Not a fun place to visit actually, since most of the people surviving there (I won't say "living") are pretty much in a comatose state.
