Ingram Attacks North Carolina Insurance Law Changes
North Carolina insurance commissioner John Ingram warns that the 1977 law loosens rating standards and raises premiums for groups labeled undesirable including musicians and the elderly. He says safe drivers face higher costs and that urban residents would subsidize rural bad drivers, with no public hearings pre passage. He also notes potential impacts on workers comp and homeowners insurance and hints at state senate or governor races.
