Why do the liberals believe that purchase of auto insurance is mandatory?

I guess we believe it's mandatory because there are laws that make it mandatory.

All you need is a 25,000 bond but on the other hand if an individual is involved in an accident the party can be sued for more than they have put up for the bond without the benefit of an insurance company fighting on Their behalf

Additional information:

Most states allow at least one of these items to be used as financial responsibility in my state it is only 25,000:

Your car insurance policy.

A surety bond issued by any authorized surety company.

A State Motor Vehicle Department bond secured by real estate equity of a set amount (for example Ohio requires at least $60,000, same for New Mexico, California requires $35,000).

A State Motor Vehicle Department certificate for money or government bonds for a set amount on deposit with the State Treasurer (usually has a lesser amount required).

A certificate of proof of financial responsibility signed by an insurance agent on a form prescribed by your state's Motor Vehicle Department.

In California and most states Liabilty insurance is mandatory.

Why should you have to flip the bill if some jackoff with no insurance runs into your car? That's why it's mandatory! And what does being a liberal have anything to do with it?
