Plus the insurance companies can force higher standards.

Only for those pilots who choose to carry insurance. Sport planes will be
significantly less expensive than the current crop of production
Normal/Utility category airplanes, and thus there will likely be a higher
proportion of pilot/owners in the sport pilot group, none of whom will be
required to carry insurance (though, of course, most will).

Unfortunately, if it's anything like the automotive world, the worst pilots
will also be the ones who choose not to carry insurance.
