The Readers On No-Fault...

Excerpted reactions to today's column on no-fault insurance, which expires in Florida Oct. 1:

We should keep no fault in Florida.  To eliminate it will put hospitals in a financial bind and who will pay for the hospitals' cost?  People who do have health insurance will see thier premiums increase to cover the hospitals' shortfall! -- Joanne Hannon, Pinellas Park

Is the "No fault area of insurance" a euphemism for clinics specializing in maxing out PIP as quickly as possible? I prefer the term "PIP clinic". I think we would all be better off if they found a job that actually contributed something economic. -- Ken

Boo Hoo..... PIP is not working, the only people that it does work for are the people that are staging accidents and the atty's that rep them. Get rid of PIP. Let the attys work for there lunch now. -- Fraud

As an adjuster, the issue is not eliminating no-fault, the issue is putting controls in place that eliminate fraud, lower the overall cost of treatment and determine if the person is really injured. Removing no-falut coverage is not the answer. -- Margaret

What, PIP has been somewhat successful? Sounds like a call to action for the Legistlature to screw it up! -- Warren

A good friend was a hit and run victim. She was injured and found the other driver who had no insurance nor license nor was her car registered. My friend only has Major medical insurance. No fault saved her! Please keep it alive! -- Kay

Howard, if I made $1K more K a week, I wouldn't mind paying more to my insurance company. So, if it's passed how about those with multiple insurnace not being required to carry it? I have Medicare, Care First and a policy thru my wife at no charge.
