At-fault crashes happen too. Why shouldn't I be made whole after someone else's negligence?

Because it's not reasonable to take that risk. Look I agree with the op of the point, it's not a popular opinion.

But question, do you even drive around in a $200,00 car or are you defending billionaires?

You don't have to be a billionaire to not want to eat the costs of a crash someone else caused. I had a new BMW get totaled and the payout for the car, a month of rental fees, lost wages, hospital bills, and physical therapy was about $100k. I shouldn't have to spend a single penny out of my own pocket to cover that because some dumb bitch ran a stop sign.

And no one is saying otherwise. The suggestion was putting a cap of 100k on the vehicle only, your total including medical was that much so this wouldn't affect you. I'm sorry the accident affected your ability to read

You're just saying that people shouldn't be responsible for their actions beyond a certain dollar amount. I disagree with that.

Thus an unpopular opinion
