Advocates say it is discrimination and are arguing for “insurance fairness” on the grounds that people who have joints surgically replaced typically don’t face the same kinds of coverage challenges.

    Or, with car insurance, you get punished for actually using the service you pay for.

      A service you are legally required to pay for, no less.

        Isn’t the required car insurance the part that covers the OTHER cars, property and people you might harm with your car?

        I don’t think it’s required that you carry enough insurance to be able to replace your own car. Might depend on your state, though?

          Usually if there is a lien against the title, you’re required to carry full coverage, and liability only when you own the title.

            That’s usually a policy of the lender, though, not a law.

              That makes sense. I never put any thought into it other than knowing I had to carry it.

            Oh I guess that makes sense, since the vehicle is the collateral on the loan. Hard to repo a wreck.

              Its actually very easy to repo a wreck, but its not worth anything.
