No but I can tell you.

1. States may mandate car insurance. 10th Amendment issue reserved to the states and the people.

2. If you don’t like the law if your state does this, you can go to another state that doesn’t mandate it. You have nowhere to go if the fed govt mandates it.

3. You don’t have to own a car. Plenty of people take buses and other forms of public transportation.

4. Car insurance is to cover you for injuries and damage you cause to others. Health insurance is to cover injury and damage to yourself.

5. The government does not have a public option (ie govt plan) for car insurance and thus not only regulate but compete with other private car insurance companies, like it will be doing with healthcare insurance.

I should clarify the point in #3 I was trying to make. Because you don’t have to own a car, even though your state may mandate car insurance, they do not force anyone who doesn’t own a car, to have car insurance. Unlike this federal healthcare mandate which will not let anyone opt out of having any health insurance.
