This wasn't supposed to cost the state a dime.... And now it's $55 million. And when Mrs. Heier states that the money comes from a 2.7% tax levied on all insurance plans in the state, and then says its spread out so "all Alaskans pay"she is incorrect. Many Alaskans ( rural and native villages) don't pay any renters, auto, life, or health insurance,  once again leaving the bill to the other 50% of hard working Alaskans. This is why an income tax needs to be the last resort in fixing the state budget, only after PFD payouts are ended, and a statewide sales tax with no exemptions is initiated.
Time for the other half of Alaskans to pay there "fare share"... 
The free ride is over!.
