Okay, could someone clear up a question regarding no fault for me. The general argument against (and only argument that I can see) is that premiums will be going up for good drivers. Now my question is, why? With the current situation, part of the premiums are paid because the insurance companies are unable to collect from those without insurance so the insurance co. must provide an adequate buffer so as to not lose money. But with no-fault insurance, shouldn't the premiums go down because of all of the new drivers in the system and the lower cost of litigation? 5 out of 10 people pay $200 or 10 out of 10 people pay $100, either way, isn't it the same? Aren't the insurance companies getting a large influx of income? Don't the insurance companies have a lower overhead because of less litigation and investigation and whatever? Whats the difference between this and social security/disability that the government takes out? You get hurt, you get paid, some fraud, but the system pretty much works, right? Am I missing something??? Trying to understand... -- merle@netcom.com
