Why is there no effort on the part of our government to fix this dishonest insurance system that at best can be described as run by insurance companies who are incompetent at handling the claims of their own customers and at worst as a dysfunctional corrupt system that is harming vulnerable injured Ontarians. Bill 171 further entrenches the existing abuses and then makes it more attractive to insurers to increase their rate of denials by rewarding them financially for doing so. By reducing the prejudgement interest insurers owe on payments to MVA victims that they failed to make in the first place, it is the insurers who will benefit. Bill 171 rewards those unscrupulous or incompetent insurers.
How does that fit in with an elected official’s duty to protect the best interests of Ontarians?
