Moreover, the proposal would establish a process similar to one followed by the Public Utilities Commission. It would allow consumer groups, insurance companies and other outside parties to weigh in on rate issues. Why didn't they have the guts to say Lawyers and Quack "Doctors". I hope it goes on the ballot...

There is a lot of fraud but there needs to be rate caps.I've got to send in my comp today and I'm pretty heated up about it. 350% increase in 4 years with no claims.The whole damn thing needs to be thrown out.
