Talkback: Mandatory car insurance plan circles the Capitol
Dec. 7, 2007, 11:43 a.m.
One thing the opponents of mandatory insurance forget is that not all victims of auto accidents are in autos. What about pedestrians or bike riders? If you are hit by an auto without liability insurance and you are on foot, you better hope you have good health insurance. Those without health insurance are on their own or can wait until the unemployed or minimum wage person who hit them scrapes up $100,000 to pay the medical bills. This is wrong! It is also ethically wrong to not have liability insurance and the state should definitely get with the 21st century and start requiring liability insurance.
If you are responsible enough to drive, you should be responsible enough to buy insurance. If you can't afford insurance, you can't afford to drive. Take the bus.
