It's a legislative proposal (LD 510) for the Maine Rescue Card, rescue insurance, and it's not literally free, but $20 annually. This is similar, I understand, to the western before-the-fact insurance model and different from NH's after-the-fact negligence model.
I wonder if there will be deductibles? Will the premiums go up annually? Will no map and compass void the contract? What about pre-existing conditions? Can I buy a premium policy and get a fast chopper ride down rather than a smelly, bumpy slow litter haulout? Lots of questions (some facetious, some not). More importantly, will it encourage or discourage more prudent planning, behavior, and use of public resources?
