  1. My car insurance actually increased after 6 months I have no tickets an haven't been in a car accident in years. I don't understand why it has to be high I honestly cant afford it anymore idk what im supposed to do.

  2. I'm a conservative Republican, and I don't agree with the majority of Mike Duggan's politics. But, this presentation he gave is spot on. The unholy alliance between the trial lawyers and medical industry was one of the biggest reasons I left MI.

  3. Michiganders have been overpaying for auto insurance since 1972: 100% more than the national average. Due to a state-wide policy reform on July 2nd, 2020, every resident is eligible for savings of up to 50% on their auto insurance.

  4. Lower the fucking car insurance. 1200 a year is fuck ridiculous. Fucking rip off for the rich fucks. School debt, car debt, house debt, on top, car insurance.

  5. What Mike doesn't tell you is that in New Jersey they have what's called a ''Dollar Per Day'' policy or thirty dollars a month policy and in Calif they also have a low income policy for $300 plus dollars per year. Mike knows this because l gave him a copy of these insurance programs.

    Also Detroit drivers are paying more that $2400 a year i was given a quote from Liberty Mutual for $900 plus dollars per month. And it was said that over 50 percent of the drivers in Michigan has no insurance not 20 per cent as Mike claims.

  6. People don’t even want to make claims or their insurance goes up. They have insurance that they can’t even use for fear that they have to pay a penalty for using it. Where is the sense in that? Just sounds like someone else getting rich off of the poor. Shame on them.

  7. I'm a single 31 year old ex-service member using USAA Auto Insurance. I have a perfect driving record without any infractions or accidents in my lifetime.

    Shopping for a new vehicle, I'm pigeonholed into making certain choices. I even took a look at a 2015 Tesla, 1 owner. I figure, why not at least eliminate having to pay for gas while being more environmentally responsible?

    The Tesla was going to cost me $811.00 per MONTH. That's significantly more than the car payment would have been.

    Right now I'm paying $231 a month for a 10 year old Saab 9-3, with most coverage declined and a $1000 deductible.

    I work for a local government and have excellent health coverage, and yet I'm forced to buy UNLIMITED PIP which is easily exploited.

    Meanwhile my premiums go up every year instead of being rewarded for my good driving habbits.

    DO. SOMETHING.

  8. This is criminal. Do you know how many people will end up unable to afford to drive now? You can't drive, you can't make it to your job. If you can't make it to your job, you can't afford to pay your bills. Not to mention how this is going to hurt the automobile industry. Nobody is going to want to buy or lease a new car because the insurance is so much more on newer vehicles. A lot of people live paycheck to paycheck…and not by choice. This basically just gave all them the middle finger.

  9. PIP is nothing but a scam. It's stealing…and no matter who you call in the insurance agencies or health care agencies, nobody can give you a straight answer as to why you have to buy this coverage even though you have medical coverage. Our insurance increased by over $300 per month because we have more than one car. This is outrageous.

  10. Thank you for being relentless Mayor Duggan. This has been out of control for a long time. Hopefully getting a federal judge on board finally means you have the punch to defeat that unholy alliance you speak of.
