I’m not in US, which is probably why I dream of your rates.

Our government policy (Ontario Canada) is to ask insurers how to reduce premiums, then the government lets them reduce/cap benefits and premiums go up anyway.

It’s one of the many markets we would open to more competition. A lot of US insurers would salivate at our rates.

Yes, I don't think people outside of Ontario understand how hosed we are on car insurance. I admit we have fraud, but do we have more fraud than norther Illinois? No. Do we have different weather than northern Illinois? Again, no.
