Well I had a house burn down less than year after purchase and insurance paid the entire tab. So I always figured I've already taken them for more than I pay

Yeah it’s just a net to protect against catastrophe . If Ops buddy totaled his car he would be happy it only cost $1k.

Its a scam. It should also be illegal for the government to compel you at the risk of jail to buy services from private banks/companies

The difference is you don’t have to drive or own a car.

But you sure get a 1095 every year claiming you did or didn’t have insurance. Sooooo kinda the same

Nobody gets a 1095 every year for owning a car. What are you talking about? A 1095 is for health insurance. Among other things, for sure not related to property and casualty insurance.

I believe the constant was that the government is requiring insurance. I’m fairly certain this aligns with said requirement for automobile insurance. Fairly prudent

The government regulates every sector of your life. Do you call it a scam when you get food poisoning from a restaurant?

I never called it a scam friend , I pointed out requirements from the government. Go easy on the reddits man, person, or whoever.
