Comments on: Would Ron Paul repeal mandatory car insurance laws if he could? http://car-insurance-connection.com/would-ron-paul-repeal-mandatory-car-insurance-laws-if-he-could/ Save money on your auto insurance bill by researching ALL the facts before you buy Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:29:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Gil Davis http://car-insurance-connection.com/would-ron-paul-repeal-mandatory-car-insurance-laws-if-he-could/comment-page-1/#comment-9 Gil Davis Mon, 31 Dec 2007 06:11:09 +0000 http://car-insurance-connection.com/would-ron-paul-repeal-mandatory-car-insurance-laws-if-he-could/#comment-9 I don't know if he would. I think the American public is so brainwashed as thinking it's necessary for government to mandate laws to take away our freedom of choice. I have always carried auto insurance, be it mandatory or not. My prediction from the outset was that auto insurance companies would take advantage of the law to raise premiums. As a 25 year old adult, I was paying about $325 per year for full-coverage, glass breakage protection, and a $250 ded. on comp and collision, PLUS uninsured motorist coverage on a 2 year old car. And insurance was not mandatory. Today, I'm having problems finding insurance under $1,000 per year...no accidents, a 3 year old minivan, the same $250 deductable, no glass breakage protection. Most of my quotes are around $1400 - $1800 per year--even with a credit score near 800!!! Tell me if mandatory insurance is good for ANYONE except the insurance companies. As an adult, I certainly do not need the government telling me to wear a seatbelt (I have since they've been available on cars), buy insurance, or wear a helmet when I ride my motorcycle (why isn't there a government mandate on THAT?). Get the corporations OUT OF OUR GOVERNMENT and let the PEOPLE have it back!!! Sincerely, Gil Davis I don’t know if he would.
