I think it is mandated in 49 of 50 states.
The point is, it is still a mandated purchase, intended to protect you AND others from your actions (or an accident).

Should that 50th state be required to mandate it because the other 49 have? And if the Federal Gvt. can mandate health care for all of us why shouldn't it mandate auto insurance, or anything else for that that matter, for all of us? If the Federal Gvt need not be limited to its Constitutionally limited powers to mandate, but can mandate anything, are the states even necessary? Would it not be better to eliminate the mish-mash of 50 different governments, and all of us then be gathered under the mandate of one central government? Are the states necessary? Are they merely obstacles to good, uniform government?
