To paraphrase, saying "That's what everyone else is doing" does not equate to "That's what's right" or "That's what's best."
True. But we moved towards mandating it, not the other way around.
"We"? I don't remember doing anything of the sort. Unless you're trying to equate yourself with the state legislatures? Or are you a lobbyist for the insurance agencies? I don't see how you're including yourself in the group of people who "moved toward mandating [insurance]".
But regardless, especially when government is concerned, rising popularity does not equate to better fitness, either.
The result is the uninsured motorist is now
liable for those bills, and probably for the disability. That's both OK, and equal. (
Well, equal after the liability is settled.)
In your
starry eyed view of libertarian views, you completely missed the content of my post. Being liable does not equate to compensation.
No, it doesn't. However, having that liability settled
does.
