And can you think of other examples of such, besides safety items (like a laboratory providing fire extinguishers) or car insurance? And where do we draw the line as to what should be mandated or not? How would you classify such an economic system - commitalism? Is it the same thing to mandate 'safety' consumerism for an individual vs. a corporation (i.e. is a corporation's 'right to survive' on an equal footing with that of an individual?). Moreover, does something like car insurance prevent accidents or promote them? I don't know if there is any data on this, but I would think it would be more likely to promote them (careless driving due to the 'safety net').
