Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced today that drivers can expect bigger savings on auto insurance rates over what they paid in the previous year. That’s under the state’s new insurance law that she signed in 2019.
Whitmer said drivers can expect savings ranging from 25 to 62 percent depending on the level of coverage they choose. The governor said the reduction in premiums will be on top of refunds that are coming from the Michigan Catastrophic Claims Association.
But Tom Judd with the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council says all that is at the expense of long-term care for people catastrophically injured in car accidents.
“A lot of people are kind of in limbo right now trying to figure out where these services will continue if these providers go away.”
That’s because the law cut payments to home care providers by nearly half. Long-term care providers are going out of business as a result.
