I know of at least three older pilots who still flew their old airplanes occasionally even though they had no medical. I also know a couple pilots who had a very long wait and hassle to get their medical back after various conditions they were successfully treated for. I am healthy and have no issues with my medical, but I am all for eliminating over half of all govt regulation.
I bet the percentage of private pilot accidents due to pilot health issues would barely be measurable if the regulation went away.
That said....... I am not opposed to commercial pilots who fly passengers for hire being subjected to medical exams.
