It's only political because some choose to make it that way. It is true, states have insurance commissions that manage insurance companies that do business in their state, but other than push back when a company wants to up rates, not sure what they can do.

It does appear that Florida is quite litigious. There have been attempts to curb that, but there is only so much that can be done.

Hurricanes/floods cause cars to be damaged/totaled. I would be in favor of a surcharge on those that live within XX miles of the shore areas, so they share more of that burden vs those of us to chose to live inland.

Uninsured motorist is a problem. The ability to avoid being insured and still drive is something that could be addressed better. Seems every time someone goes through a toll booth/scanner one of the things that could be checked at that point is if their insurance is current, car is registered, etc. Such devices could be set up randomly at other than tollway locations to catch those that don't use tollways.

I would be in favor of inspections for safety issues - brakes and tires being the primary items.

All non-political things.
