Saninsanity...

I couldn't believe that our legislature, here in Utah, wanted to force the insurance companies to provide insurance, especially if the insurance companies see them as "high risk"... but they are going to at least consider forcing this very thing in Utah.
What ever happened to common sense? If these companies give insurance, and the risk is high, then they take a hit. On the other hand, while these individuals are in the system, we all take a hit as this kind of thing is paid for by our taxes... so we either pay in higher premiums or in higher taxes...

And just one day later, it seems that the sanity has returned with a measure to prevent or limit the number of appeals that an inmate can have.

What is it with law makers that cause them to be so insane and sane all at the same time?
