What if the entire car "world" operated like health?
Male age 45 drinks and drives - speeding down the road smashes into a fence and wrecks the car.
*$25 copay to tow the car home
*Deductible + coinsurance to fix the car; $20,000 worth of damage, client paid $5,000.
*Court date comes, $1,000 fine and $5,000 in attorney fees but the client ownes nothing. Already hit OOP for the year.
*Client gets caught going 80 in a 55 zone. Police officer writes out a ticket for $500 dollars but that doesn't matter since it's a $25 copay.
*4 months later his car blows up. Drove around for 3 months with the "check oil" light on. $25 copay for the tow. Replaced engine was $3,500 but the client doesn't owe a cent. Already hit his OOP for the DUI.
Car insurance company cannot raise his rates or cancel him.
*Next month he's doing 80 down the road again, this time the check engine light's on. And who cares since car insurance has to pay for it.
