House approves long-overdue bipartisan no-fault solution

 State Rep. Mary Whiteford today joined colleagues in approving a bipartisan plan to deliver significant rate relief for drivers across the state.

The House overwhelmingly voted to approve legislation guaranteeing lower rates by giving drivers more choice on personal injury protection coverage, stopping price gouging on medical services for car accident victims, and combating fraudulent claims to help lower costs. The plan should soon be headed to the governor for her expected signature.

The bipartisan solution is designed to end Michigan’s long tenure as the state with the most expensive car insurance rates in the nation.

“This plan is the best path forward for Michigan,” said Whiteford, of Casco Township. “Our community has been crying out for auto insurance reform for decades. It’s an honor to play a role in getting this plan passed today.”

Michigan’s costs are high largely because it’s the only state mandating unlimited lifetime health care coverage through car insurance. The bipartisan reform 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.
