...might seem impossible for anyone to devise an auto-insurance plan more fouled up than the one now actually in effect in the U.S. Under the present system, drivers pay high premiums, insurers incur heavy losses, and the nation's accident victims recover only about a fifth of the $5.1 billion a year in medical expenses, loss of income and other tangible damage that they suffer.
