Two hospital groups gave Florida Gov. Charlie Crist a letter today arguing that the expected expiration of the state's no-fault auto insurance law qualifies as a topic for the special legislative session on the budget because of the financial impact involved.

Florida Hospital Association (FHA) and the Safety Net Hospital Alliance of Florida (SNHAF) said they warned Gov. Crist that the expiration of no-fault has a direct impact on the state budget.
