To keep Insurance Rates Low for Americans

The Office of Financial and Insurance Regulation Commissioner, Ken Ross, has denied 20 insurance rate increase requests and believes these rates should be based on an individuals driving record and not the individuals ability to pay their bills on time, (per: Lansing State Journal article : MARCH 11, 2009, on the front page , section B).

He mentions that credit information is not always correct, so basing your rate of insurance on this information is "unfairly discriminatory," and does NOT MAKE SENSE !! It does NOT MAKE SENSE to charge an individual higher insurance premiums when they are obviously struggling with finances.

If you are a good driver and you pay your insurance premiums this should be what premiums are based on (Driving Behavior).

We, the undersigned, call on State Representative Barb Byrum, Senator Sanborn, and Governor Jennifer Granholm to eliminate insurance rate premiums based on credit scoring.
