Reply #31: Oh. When you said auto accident [View All]

I assumed you were in a car. Pedestrian, right? Did the driver of the car that struck you produce proof of insurance? I realize this incident is over, and you survived just fine, and you are absolutely right that our health care system sucks.

Because I work for the attorney I see all sorts of horrendous things because of lack of insurance or inadequate coverage, or even if there's adequate coverage the insurance companies don't want to pay. It's an awful system. I keep on telling my attorney he should not have to do most of the work he does, and he agrees with me.

But I still want to point out that if the car that struck you (or that you were riding in) should have had insurance. There are highly desirable aspects to mandatory insurance, even though they allow pitifully small minimum amounts of coverage.
