Being on life support for years after a MVA is a lot more costly to insurance companies than suicide.

You mean insurance companies will pay out maybe $200,000 to families in life insurance rather than pay a million to the health care industry to keep that person alive? I haven't looked, but how much you want to bet the hospice industry is against this law?

I think you'd be wrong. They are in the business of end-of-life comfort.

There are VERY few hospices that accept pt's on ventilators. Blowing thru 500K in a month is nothing. And you can throw in the other vehicles driver and passengers on top of that. If you choose not to wear a seatbelt, you should wave your rights for medical care. I have no desire to pay your bills thru my insurance costs. You made that decision, not me. That's the hole in my state's nofault mandatory auto insurance law.
