Rep. Bellino votes to lower car insurance rates for Michigan drivers
RELEASE|May 9, 2019

The Michigan House today approved a landmark plan to fix our state’s much-maligned car insurance system and reduce rates for all Michigan drivers, state Rep. Joe Bellino announced.

Bellino voted in favor of the plan to offer drivers personal injury coverage options, rein in medical costs and fight fraud – features designed to end Michigan’s long-standing tenure as the state with the costliest car insurance rates in the nation.

“Today marks a historic step forward for Michigan’s seven million drivers,” Bellino, of Monroe, said after the vote. “By passing today’s reform, drivers from Monroe to Marquette will see an end to sky-rocketing car insurance rates. This is the state that put the world on wheels – the cost to drive a car shouldn’t stop anyone from getting out on the road. Today I was proud to deliver on my promise to reduce the cost of auto insurance for Southeast Michigan families.”

Michigan’s costs are high largely because it’s the only state mandating unlimited lifetime health care coverage through car insurance. The plan allows those currently using the coverage to keep it, and those who want it in the future to continue buying it – while providing more affordable options.

The plan:

  • Guarantees lower rates for all Michigan drivers
  • Gives drivers a choice on health coverage options
  • Stops price gouging on medical services for car accident victims
  • Combats fraudulent claims to help lower costs

The sweeping legislation now advances to the Senate for consideration.
