Too bad, so sad

In California, you can have a $35,000 cash deposit at the DMV or have a DMV-issued self-insurance certificate, which also requires owning 25 cars.

When we moved to CO from CA we purchased a 24', 26,000 GVW, high cube, GMC truck. As it turns out, insurance companies will not carry a rider on this type of vehicle because they consider it a commercial vehicle. They want you to own a business and to carry an umbrella policy on the business and the vehicle.

I called Sacramento and asked the DMV if the $35,000 CD deposit of Proof of Financial Responsibility would apply to the above described vehicle if the vehicle would be used for a non-commercial purpose ie: the interstate transport of personal goods and chattel. They said "No problem", sent us the forms, we got the CD, and we sent the passbook to Sacramento where it was held on file for the duration of the move and subsequent sale of the vehicle.

Worked like a charm.

The interesting thing about the letter we were sent from Sacramento, that certified the CD on deposit, was it stated that we were to copy the letter as many times as necessary and to place a copy of same in every vehicle the depositor owns.

Bought the truck in CA for $10,000.

Sold it in CO for $13,500.

Made the interest on the short term CD when we cashed it in.

Moved 1,200 miles and made money in the process. :coffee:
 
Kicking and screaming back on subject, the suits are still coming in in droves.

If we start losing doctors, as Dr. Jane Orient predicts, we will simply do what every other country with socialized health care has done. We will import foreigners to take their places.

Medical Society Files Lawsuit to Block Health Care Overhaul

FOXNews.com

First, do no harm. Second, sue the government.

With the president's ink barely dry on the health care overhaul's final fixes, a group of nearly 5,000 American physicians is filing suit to stop the mammoth new law dead in its tracks.

"I think this bill that passed threatens not only to destroy our freedom in medicine but to bankrupt the country," said Dr. Jane Orient, executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.

The Arizona-based medical coalition filed suit on March 26, arguing that congressional reforms illegally coerce individuals into buying insurance from private companies.

Starting in 2014, anyone who chooses not to buy health insurance faces a small federal penalty, but in 2016 the fine jumps to $695 a year per person or 2.5 percent of overall income, whichever is greater. That means that anyone earning more than $27,800 would be subject to increasing penalties, with a maximum fine of $2,085 per family.

Supporters of the law call it a simple tax meant to shore up coverage nationwide; but the AAPS says the mandate is an "unprecedented overreach" — an unconstitutional grab that rewards insurance companies and allows the federal government to seize private property in violation of the 5th Amendment.

Insurers "will have millions of new, unwilling customers that they wouldn't have gotten," said Orient, an internist based in Tuscon. "They're counting on getting all this new money."

Though legal challenges to the new law are popping up nationwide, the conservative-leaning AAPS is the only medical society to file suit against the health care package. The American Medical Association, the largest physicians' group in the U.S., supported the health care overhaul and lobbied on its behalf.

Orient says she hopes more groups will join her suit, and predicts a shortage of doctors as the medical community adjusts to the new law.

"We need to get back to the old-fashioned style of medicine where doctors worked for their patients and patients paid their doctors," she said.
