Big problems if PIP expires...

The clock is ticking. I've posted quite a few times about what will happen if the Florida Legislature doesn't act quickly to do something about the PIP law (click here for the first of my series about how to protect yourself in a post no-fault world). Right now, the law is still set to expire on October 1st. As of right now, if the Legislature takes no action, as of October 1st, Florida will be the only state in the Union that does not require its drivers to maintain bodily injury liability insurance. How can this possibly be a good thing? And how how can you believe that there is NOT something seriously wrong with a legislature that doesn't believe it's drivers should be required to maintain bodily injury insurance? Who do our representatives think will pay for the medical claims of the roughly 20% of our residents that will have inadequate or no health insurance (according to Florida CFO Alex Sink in this article). There's still a chance that the legislature may take some action. Only time will tell.
