Rationale aside. It is not ok!

Plus, what you described is not any sort of solution.

The fix will require the legislature to make changes. But that might take years as the lobbyist fight it out ... between the insurance companies and medical providers. Consumers are now stuck in the middle worse than ever!
PIP original was a social solution for accident victims and addressed the problems associated with the liability laws in various states. It was a good thing on paper but like any program making money available there is going always going to be people who abuse the system.

PIP is one of those populist topics and so those abusing it can spin it in their favor . I suspect many of the problems associated with refusal to pay benefits has to do with suspected fraud and abuse
