Yeah! Cash rape the consumers! That's the ticket!

Why should they? They offer coverage in case of death. At MOST they should require death coverage be compulsory. They didn't produce the defective product. Screw the automaker. Insurance companies didn't take bailouts, and they offer a federally mandated service.

I know it's a devil's advocate position, but let's be real here....not their eff'ing problem.
