When the blogosphere outlawed car insurance

Many insurance policies are rip-offs. Even when the government requires someone to buy insurance, there's no laws to control the costs.

This is little more than the government redistributing money upward from the consumer to powerful corporations.

Health care reform is good, but one thing is for certain: If consumers are required to buy health insurance, we better be damn sure the cost is capped at an affordable sum.

Some right-wing website - looking for another excuse to oppose health care reform - is now saying that an obligation to buy health insurance would be unconstitutional. Why? Because.

Well, then that means mandatory car insurance is unconstitutional too. Because.

Gotcha on that one, conservos!

Honestly, with auto insurance now mandatory in almost every state, why is there no regulation of how much insurance costs? This is a perfect illustration of "regulation for thee, not for me." And it keeps the poor from finding better work and advancing in life - which is intentional.

Maybe there should be a public option for car insurance.
