my bad, i confused the already private auto insurance with the Ralph Klein privatized utilities. but regardless both are bad, the consumer is promised the freedom of "choice" but in reality every choice they have is to pay more for the same service than before it was privatized
taking necessities of daily life and putting them into the hands of corporations whose only concern is to make a profit is a ridiculous ideology. it reminds me of when a few hundred years ago fire stations were owned by private individuals and would sooner allow a house to burn down before being paid up front for their services. we see a modern day version of this in the US with their medicare system and HMOs
