No-Fault Auto Insurance Seen Doomed In Senate
The Maine no-fault auto insurance bill faces a likely Senate defeat after an 80-11 House vote and a 13-13 Senate tie decision that failed to defeat it. The bill would cover medical expenses and work loss with a $5,000 minimum no fault benefit and a $500 threshold to sue. It would subtract benefits from Social Security and Medicare when applicable, while private health plans like Blue Cross would not be subtractable. Rep. James Tierney noted insurers would push to defeat the bill if health insurers gain primacy for medical coverage.
