   I don't think so:
Government Employees Insurance Company, usually known by the acronym GEICO, is an American 
auto insurance company. GEICO is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway and, as 
of 2006, provided coverage for more than 10 million motor cars, trucks and other motor 
vehicles owned by more than 7 million policy holders. GEICO writes private passenger 
automobile insurance in the District of Columbia and all U.S. states, except Massachusetts.

GEICO was founded by Leo and Lillian Goodwin to market auto insurance directly to federal 
government employees and their families. GEICO was based on the assumption that such 
persons would constitute a more financially stable and less risky pool of potential 
insureds than the general public. After real-time access to computerized driving records 
became available in the 1970s throughout the United States, GEICO gradually began to 
insure the general public as well.
