How about ending mandatory insurance, making it a truly FREE market? Then we will see honest pricing from the providers. No way should any other insurance be tied to a mandated one...that is crap anyways. | ||

Strange, isn't it? Pay a premium for 'uninsured motorist coverage' in case one is struck by an uninsured car.(A left-over rider from the days before no-fault)Yet it is not legal to drive uninsured. Bet that part of the policy makes an easy profit for insurance companies. Honest pricing, snow in July.... ..."Premiums will go down when you're 21, they'll go down if no-fault is enacted, they'll go down when you're 25, they'll go down if everyone wears a seat belt, they'll go down when your kids are out of college,they'd be lower in another zip code", heard it all. ...Sure, any legislation sponsored by the insurance industry is aimed at higher profits. And with higher profits, lower premiums. Ha- even the 'mutual' insurance companies find a way to hide some excess profits or spend on other costs to avoid rebates. Higher profits for oil companies don't seem to lower gas prices either. ...What they are seeking is lower maximum coverage for medical, comparable to other states.An obvious benefit for insurance companies.But with much hidden costs- who pays for medical care when the insurance coverage runs out? ...Perhaps someone should propose that if the lower limits be enacted that the insurance rates then be IMMEDIATELY dropped, and kept on par or even below the average of other states. | ||

In a follow up, a WDET reporter noted half of Detroit motorists carry no insurance whatsoever. As long as redlining is legal, insurance should be optional. | ||

quote: More importantly the rules need to be changed were the law abiding citizens should not shoulder more costs for those do not carry insurance based strictly on zip code. I carry insurance and should not be penalized if my neighbor does not. |
