I certainly hope so. If you want to eat lettuce and tomatos then you
should pay for them, I'm not interested in subsidizing your salad.

Actually, I misspoke slightly. In the past it was an Arizona law that
I purchase uninsured and underinsured coverage. That has been
changed; however, it is still a requirement upon the insurance
companies to provide such coverage. In otherwords, I don't have to
buy it, but any auto insurer doing business in the state must offer
it. I buy it, thus I subsidize the uninsured for my own protection.
This is still pretty close to a mandate.

As you have seen by now, other states still mandate it.
