Michigan Automobile and Home Insurance Consumer Advocate

It's about time someone is going to act on the behalf of the citizens of Michigan. Good job Butch!! Thank you for doing your part to make Michigan a better place to live!! =)

Thanks for the great input and comments. Since No Fault was enacted on October 1, 1973, the insurance industry has had Lansing in a headlock. Breathtaking deregulation has led to historic power and profits for companies at the expense of consumers. The state Legislature must stand with consumers for lower rates, and hold the industry accountable by... Read More adopting the 10 recommendations for auto insurance reform put forth by this Office, on behalf of the Governor. Recommendations such as banning the practice of credit scoring, offering a low cost policy for the working poor, and requiring companies to get the approval of the state Insurance Commissioner before they can raise their rates.

Aprreciate it Mark! As you can see, we have first-rate leadership in the Legislature. That will be crucial in getting the recommendations for fair and affordable insurance passed into law this year.

Is the video from this comcast appearance available online? Maybe at YouTube? If so, link to it. If not, you should check into making future shows and appearances available online. People are more likely to watch a vid clip (or audio clip) on something they care about than read an article, I think.

Good suggestion Amy. And you're right. We put all episodes of our "Insurance 101" shows on the website <www.michigan.gov/lowerratesnow> for easy viewing. We'll post what's on line, and if it's not on line we'll talk to the stations about getting a DVD of future interviews, and posting it here.

Thats right. This year!

Good job

Thank you Father!

I have been an advocate for fair auto and home insurance for years, having represented thousands of people who needed coverage and had to fight to receive it. May this good work continue.Let me know if I can be of any help.

George, thank you so much. To get our reform package of bills enacted by the State Legislature, we will need all hands on deck. I'm looking forward to learning from your insights and experience.

This programs airs on Comcast channel 10 in Waterford.

The show runs on 81 different cable stations throughout the state. The stations will get us a schedule of the time slots, shortly, which will be posted here. In the mean time, you can watch the current show, and all past episodes, today, on our website:www.michigan.gov/lowerratesnow.
