Mandatory cover liability will increase?

Looking around the U.S., but all three states mandate drivers to carry liability insurance. Some states have no-fault schemes. Others added a obligation to purchase a personal injury protection policy. The bill of healthcare reform was signed into law, many wondered if all insurance mandates were unconstitutional. This is a fun debate topic that seems possible, but will get nowhere. States have always had the right to impose conditions on people's voluntary activities. If you want to drive, you must have insurance from the obligation to pay compensation to anyone else could hurt. A more interesting question is the amount of the minimum required by your state minimum lawmakers.Most of these were not changed for thirty years and more. For example, in 1972, Maryland established a $ 20,000 injured person subject to a maximum of $ 40,000 for losses resulting from a single accident. This was intended to cover medical treatment, loss of earnings while recovering, and so on. In 1972,
the average annual salary was $ 12,000 and most hospitals do not pay more than a few hundred dollars for treatment. Most new cars cost less than $ 4,000 to put on the road. You could easily buy a new home for less than $ 30,000. Looking back now, you wonder how I did on so little money. Prices have increased rapidly for medical treatment. Injuries wrong person and claim against you for loss of income will be frightening. Why should this matter? Pays only minimum liability coverage. You have to pick up the bill for all other losses. So any savings or property you may be taken to satisfy a ruling against states you.Should increase their minimum? Many think so, but the policy actually make new law is difficult. During the recession, people are under financial pressure. Forcing them to spend more on vehicle insurance is not going to be popular among the poorest of the electorate. For the middle class, there is the option to buy more coverage, including uninsured and underinsure
d policy. This is the American way. Those who have money can use to protect themselves against losses. Those who are poor must take life as comes.In Maryland legislators have only increased the minimum $ 30,000 / 60,000. This is curiously unreal. If there was an increase to match inflation since 1972, should be the minimum $ 100,000 / 200,000. But the political situation would allow lawmakers to restore the minimum value suddenly. If there had been annual increases to inflation proof amounts, we would have reached $ 100,000, without anyone being too upset about it. But I grew used to accepting the cheapest solution, even if millions of people in America actually lose money because of it. Why millions? They are all victims of bad management not recover anything more than minimal and suffer major financial losses as a result. This is injustice on a large scale because states lacked the political will to raise the minimum auto insurance. And will never be cured because it costs
too much to make the necessary increase. Only people who are smiling investors come from the auto insurance industry. profits and dividends have been growing steadily, despite the recession.
