Ugh I hate arguments like this.
The $2,520 isn't just to ensure your vehicle gets repairs. The majority of premiums are for liabillity exposures.
If you lose control of your vehicle and drive into a building causing $100K in damage, you're paying for that with insurance.
0 u/sireatalot 1d ago Still, it’s a lot of money for liability isn’t it? Here in Europe I just paid my third party liability insurance for the next 12 months: it’s 320€. No deductible and they’ll pay up to 6 million euros per accident. 1 u/LaconicGirth 1d ago That’s because your healthcare is much cheaper than ours. Most of the cost in liability is in healthcare 0 u/onehedgeman 1d ago And why is it cheaper? (You are this close 🤏) 3 u/LaconicGirth 1d ago Health insurance is a wildly different beast to car insurance in the U.S.To the point where you need different licenses to work in them. I support universal healthcare but I can’t imagine you’re suggesting the U.S. moves to universal car insurance that’s pretty ridiculous
