Cheaper Policies in Florida

Categories: Florida, Insurance Regulation

Here's some good news from Florida: A legislative committee is looking at reducing the number of mandates the state places on insurance policies. According to one news account, "The Senate Banking and Insurance Committee on Tuesday approved Crist's proposal that would create a system allowing people to buy coverage from two types of scaled-back plans."

On the other hand, Gov. Crist proposes letting more families buy into KidCare, a state-affiliated insurance program.

Then again, that's politics. One step forward, another (or two) back.
