LANSING, MI – Bill language that would make changes to Michigan auto insurance are floating around in draft form, but even supporters acknowledge getting them through in the remaining two days of lame duck would be hard work. Rep. Joe Bellino, R-Monroe, is among the legislature’s most passionate supporters of auto insurance reform and supports the draft that is circulating. He lives near the border and sees people in his district who can’t afford auto insurance, even when it’s vastly cheaper just a few miles away in Ohio. “When you go door to door in Monroe County the first thing they talk about is auto insurance,” Bellino said.

These programs (i.e., the safety net of government assistance policies) lifted nearly 37 million people above the poverty line in 2018 — including 7 million...

LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) – The Luxembourg insurance sector was buoyed by Brexit effect in the first quarter, the national insurance commission said on Monday, with international non-life premiums showing a fourfold increase from a year earlier. Premiums in the non-life sector, including domestic business, jumped by 218 percent year on year thanks largely to the licensing of firms establishing bases in Luxembourg after the United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union, Luxembourg’s CAA said. Total insurance premiums, including life assurance, were up 46 percent at 9.43 billion euros (8.06 billion pounds), CAA data showed. Non-life, non-marine premiums taken in by...
