Auto Insurance Must be Reformed

 
Residents across the country are calling for auto insurance reform. They say that they just cannot afford to pay the car insurance rates that are out there, and they feel that their government has failed them in making sure that they don’t have to pay enormous amounts for auto insurance. Auto insurance has gotten so bad that more and more states are seeing their residents choosing to not get any insurance at all because they cannot afford it. This leads to more uninsured motorists out there, which in turn leads to more money having to be paid by those that do have auto insurance policies.
 
It has become a no win situation for everyone involved, and residents say that something has to come of it – and that something had better be lower auto insurance rates. In Michigan their residents are so upset that they are banding together to take on the auto insurance companies. They want their lawmakers to bring in auto insurance reform as they say that it is too much money to have to pay.
 
However, in their legislature the Democrats and Republicans are so busy fighting over who will win the auto insurance fight that they have forgotten who is at the heart of the debate. No one wants to do what is right if the other one suggests it first. Partisan politics is at its worst – and there seems to be no end in sight.
 
Residents say that there are plenty of ways to change auto insurance so that it is not so bad – they recommend controlling rates by getting rid of credit checks and the Democrats approved it. However, because they did so the Republicans then turned around and rejected it. It has gotten terrible and only the consumer is paying the price.
