James Smith+FollowDetroit’s car insurance ‘reform’ left us paying moreCar insurance in Detroit is still sky-high, even after Michigan’s no-fault ‘reform’ was supposed to lower rates. Instead of real savings, many of us are paying more now than before, and the most vulnerable—like crash survivors—have lost crucial care. The promise of cheaper insurance came at the cost of catastrophic coverage, and the numbers just don’t add up: rates have climbed nearly $200 since 2019, and there are actually more uninsured drivers on the road. Should lawmakers step in and fix what’s broken? How has this hit your family or neighborhood? #Cars #Detroit #CarInsurance00Share
