11. Same vs. justified
Sat May 30, 2015, 02:42 PM
May 2015

Of course I pay the lowest rate. The problem is, the lowest rate is not low enough. It can't be justified by the actual risk exposure represented by safe drivers. Yes, they have high risk pools, but they still milk the basic customers and justify it with some pseudo-socialist stuff about being able to insure everyone. I would not mind paying high rates if the government would regulate the insurance industry to cap profits and get some of the high risk drivers off the road. As things stand now, I just pay high rates and get little in return.
