The road to regulation in Michigan

Monday, December 14th, 2009

State governments may have a responsibility to protect lower-income groups during tough economic times, but it appears that Michigan regulators may be able to do more to balance auto insurance rates than a complete reform package.

This article addresses the road to regulation in Michigan and brings out valuable points to ponder.  It reads in part:

“The government should empower regulatory agencies that can force insurance companies to offer fair rates, rather than pass a bill completely revising, perhaps unwisely, the way rates are calculated.”

“Looking at a driver’s level of education, profession and income aren’t necessarily fair ways of determining an individual’s likelihood of being involved in an accident.”

“But while low-income drivers can’t afford to pay more than everyone else, insurance companies shouldn’t necessarily be barred from making determinations about whether drivers will be able to pay if they are involved in an accident.”

“Instead, legislators should expand the ability of regulatory agencies to make those determinations. Regulators should be given a strong mandate to make sure that insurance premiums are being calculated fairly and that low-income drivers aren’t getting the short end of the stick. Such a mandate would be able to protect the less fortunate while making sure that insurance companies don’t pass the costs on to middle-class families.” [ Read More ]

Debates Continue on Making Auto Insurance Mandatory

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Congress continues debate on how to make auto insurance mandatory. The bills being talked about by legislators are causing much reaction from consumers and concerned parties from the insurance industry.

This article on how to make auto insurance mandatory caught our eye.  In reads in part:

“Reports say that as the health legislation continues, an outpour of overwhelming reaction is building online. Blogs, websites, and other information outlets are starting to be filled up with articles having the notion that the US government is going force the public to purchase a commercial product even if they don’t have enough to pay for it or don’t want to buy. Those who are against the health care legislation advancement also argue that coercing the public to purchase one commercial product can lead to forcing people to buy more products in the future.” [ Read More ]

Insurance Mandates are not Identical

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

The debate continues about benefits and costs of health insurance. Pundits and consumers alike agree that the comparison of the health insurance mandate to mandatory car insurance is not relevent.  People have choices when it comes to car insurance.  If they don’t want to pay for it, they don’t have to drive.  The health insurance mandate, however, does not offer such choices. 

We found an interesting editorial comparing auto insurance mandates and health insurance mandates that caught our eye:

“Although there are legitimate concerns about the rate of compliance with a proposed health insurance mandate, comparing it to the experience with auto insurance is flawed reasoning.”

“First, compulsory auto insurance is a state-by-state mandate, and the rates of compliance vary depending on how seriously a state takes the issue. In Mississippi, for instance, it took forever for the Legislature to adopt a mandatory insurance law in the first place, and the enforcement mechanism is still not as strong as it could be.”

“The federal government, which would police mandatory health insurance, has an advantage over states when it comes to enforcement. It can set one national policy, rather than deal with regulations that vary state by state. It also has a huge club — the Internal Revenue Service — to dangle over the heads of the public and to assist in catching the scofflaws.”

“Furthermore, unlike auto insurance, which makes no allowances for the income levels of the purchaser, the main health-care reform plans being considered by Congress take into account income differences. They call for providing subsidies to people who truly can’t afford the full cost of coverage.”  [ Read More ]

“…  The study found 34% of respondents, representing 53 million households, admitting they are probably not taking advantage of all homeowners insurance discounts or indicating that they simply didn’t know. The results were largely similar with auto coverage, with more than 20% of car owners either not knowing or employing all the discounts available to them.”   [ Read more ]

Health Insurance Mandate vs Mandatory Auto Insurance

Monday, September 21st, 2009

This past week, there has been a flurry of health insurance inquiries. There is quite a debate nationally about costs of health insurance, who should pay, who should be covered, what the coverage levels should be, etc.  Most pundits seem to agree that the comparison of the health insurance mandate to mandatory car insurance is not relevent.  People have choices when it comes to car insurance.  If they don’t want to pay for it, they don’t have to drive.  The health insurance mandate, however, does not offer such choices. 

There was a thought provoking article by Judson Berger - FoxNews that caught our eye:

“Critics are urging the Obama administration to use a different, more representative comparison than car insurance to justify a health insurance mandate. ”

“In building the case for mandatory health insurance, President Obama and congressional Democrats are comparing a proposed requirement to buy health coverage to the need for all car owners to buy auto insurance.”

“It’s true that most states require drivers to carry auto insurance. And it’s equally true that the administration wants a federal law that will require individuals and employers to buy health insurance.”

“But the similarities end there.”  [ Read more ]

Combined Insurance Group Ltd. Losses Two Domain Name Battles

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Combined Insurance Group Ltd has lost two domain name battles for seemingly generic domains, CheapAutoInsurance.com and CheapAutosInsurance.com.

The company claims trademark rights to “Cheap Auto Insurance”, even though many of these trademarks and their dates of use are questionable based on evidence brought forth by the respondents.

The insurance company owns the domain name Cheap-Auto-Insurance.com. It should remind you of another case where a company with a hyphenated domain name is making a dubious case: the owner of c-a-s-i-n-o-s.org going after casinos.org.
