Renew no-fault:  Demise of PIP will create
health care crisis
Bradenton Herald editorial

“We know that private health care coverage is becoming more expensive each year, with covered services dwindling and deductibles rising. That means if hurt in a car crash you could pay far more out of your pocket for medical treatment than the supposed savings gained from canceling PIP. You would be expected to pay all those medical bills up front, while it could take months to be reimbursed by your insurance company for treatment that is covered.  Florida needs to renew PIP.  It is just as important, if not more than, property insurance and property taxes.”

PIP offers auto accident victims healthcare services and timely coverage
In a state where one in five Floridians has no healthcare insurance, PIP offers auto crash victims access to crucial healthcare services and timely insurance coverage for injuries up to $10,000.

Know the facts:  Forty percent of patients treated in emergency rooms and trauma centers have no health insurance to pay for treatment other than PIP, and could face personal financial disaster if PIP is repealed.

Governor Crist, Senate President Pruitt, House Speaker Rubio, please protect all Floridians by including PIP in the September Special Session
