Seen on the news wires:
Gov. Charlie Crist said Wednesday he was “pretty close” to calling a special legislative session to seek renewal of the state’s no-fault automobile insurance system, which is set to expire Oct. 1.
The article contains the usual background information — PIP is fraught with fraud. However about a quarter of the folks coming into hospital ER’s after car wrecks lack medical insurance beyond that which is afforded under PIP. Hospitals fear cutbacks in service due to the increased drag from uninsured crash victims, etc.
If it wouldn’t be a bureaucratic nightmare to implement, you’d almost wonder if it would make sense to allow drivers to waive PIP if they can provide proof of health insurance coverage for themselves and their family members.
