Granted, living in a dorm, most likely you did not need insurance. You say poor people can't afford it. But if you look at the survey, 67% of renters lack insurance. Now, you can't tell me that 67% are all poor? Even if they are low income, most of these "poor" people all have a couple of TV's and clothes and applicances. You would be surprised that if you had to replace just all of your clothes, how much it would cost. Right down to underwear, socks, etc. I personally own about 200 shirts and 40 pairs of pants. At 30-50 bucks a pop, that's over 10 grand just in clothes. I am sorry, I don't buy the "poor" excuse for not buying insurance.
