Hit Me--I Need the Money!: The Politics of Auto Insurance Reform

Examining the abuse and opportunism rampant in the auto insurance industry, this work offers bold solutions to the problems of high rates and payoffs and strategies that will enable insurance buyers to reform the system

Auto insurance rates have been rising tremendously over the last few years and, for many people, are becoming less and less affordable. Berte, an expert on insurance, provides a very readable account of the role of automobile insurance in our society, explaining where the money comes from and how it is spent. She points out that the consumer has little control over cost containment issues, and she describes how lawmakers, the medical community, lawyers, and the auto repair industry (as well as the irresponsible driver) contribute to rising costs. Her thought-provoking suggestions for changes that will lead to lower costs and reform make this a recommended purchase for consumer collections.
