There is a lot of debate today over the state of our healthcare system. Many call for a universal program of coverage. I myself would like my car insurance to act like my health insurance. Both are forms of insurance. Both were originally designed to cover in the event of a catastrophe, but somehow the automotive insurance industry has not kept up. Here are some examples of the differences we need work on:
1. Employers do not offer automotive coverage as an incentive for new hires to join.
2. The gas station does not accept a co-pay for a full tank of gas.
3. Auto insurance does not cover preventive care.
4. My driving "lifestyle" has an adverse effect on my premiums.
5. Michelle Obama has not yet recognized what a struggle it can be for working families to pay for the cost of owning a vehicle.
When all these conditions are met, then we will have the true "Candidate for Change."
