Why is it illegal to purchase your first $200,000 worth of automobile liability insurance from a private insurer? You can buy home insurance from whoever the hell you want. You can buy life insurance from whoever the hell you want. Same goes for boat insurance, travel insurance and extended health insurance. It's ridiculous.
It's almost as silly as going to a government run liquor store. Gee, why doesn't the government sell gasoline or groceries or clothes too. The government should only provide things that society otherwise wouldn't provide. Society provides insurance pretty well.
