This law forces drivers to have coverage that most responsible drivers already have--healthcare and life insurance or burial policy. This is simply another way insurance companies force responsible people to pay for services they don't need. If drivers choose not to have medical coverage or a burial policy, let them deal with the consequences. “I think med pay (medical payments coverage) is an important component that we need to retain in the system,” Negron said Friday in an interview with The News Service of Florida. “It makes sure that an emergency room is compensated when someone appears for care after a motor vehicle accident.” Ok, but more importantly, this is a way for insurance policies to collect higher premiums at the consumer's expense. "...to have a modest payment to make sure they can afford a funeral and a burial is not too much to ask. I will not support jettisoning that.” Not too much to ask of whom? I already have life insurance, why should I have to pay for more just to get insurance on my car? Who are these people trying to fool?
