No-Fault May Hike Texas Rates
Former Texas Insurance Board Chairman Hunter McLean says the national no-fault bill S 945 would raise Texas car insurance costs by up to 72 percent, adding about 200 million dollars in premiums. He argues it would undermine local needs, duplicate benefits, force unaffordable coverage, and hurt careful drivers while benefiting high risk motorists. The Houston meeting of state governors opposed federal overrides, noting Texas already has relatively low rates.
