Mike Duggan, in his 2013 campaign for mayor of Detroit, made the differential insurance rates that Detroiters pay a big issue. What Duggan said spoke to people.
But now, four years later, a new election stares Duggan in the face. Rates are still skewed, and still outrageously high. So Duggan has offered up insurance “reform.”
Yes, it could lower rates a little–by cutting pay-outs for medical care a lot. But it does nothing to reduce the outrageous profit of the insurance industry.
It’s a nice gift to the insurance industry, combined with an attack on us–which Duggan must hope no one notices ... until after the election!
