Rashida Tlaib: “Auto insurance discrimination continues to keep our residents in a cycle of poverty. Your education level, your ZIP…”

“Auto insurance discrimination continues to keep our residents in a cycle of poverty. Your education level, your ZIP code, and marital status doesn't determine your driving ability and neither does your credit score. Yet our neighbors, especially in Detroit, regularly face higher insurance rates--up to $5,000 per month in some cases. Someone with a perfect driving record and poor credit can pay up to two or three times more than those with a higher credit score, even with a driving under the influence violation. We must stop these predatory and discriminatory practices by auto insurance companies. I am so grateful to partner with Congresswoman Watson Coleman and Congressman Takano in introducing the Prohibiting Auto Insurance Discrimination Act. This is how we can push back against corporate greed and those that use proxies to discriminate. ____________________”
