“That alone would have
been enough reason for me
to vote against the bill, but
there were other important
drawbacks, as well. The Bill
would have mandated that
everyone have insurance.
It’s generally agreed that
such a requirement would
drive everyone's premium
rates up, and the Texas leg-
islature has consistently op-
posed such a law.
SIX-WEEK SESSIONS BEGINNING SEPTEMBER 5.
WILL MEET TWIG WEEKLT, AFTER SCHOOL.
Congressman Bob Gam-
mage said Monday that the
federal mandatory no-fault
insurance bill recently killed
by the House Commerce
Committee “would have re-
sulted in reduced coverage
and higher premiums for
Texans.”
Gam mage returns home
each weekend to visit with
constituents around the 22nd
District, and he explained
that several people had asked
him about his late July vote
against the no-fault bill. The
bill was defeated by a vote
of 22-19 In the Commerce
Committee.

"A good example Is the
Massachusetts experience.
Six years after the state
adopted a no-fault system,
a typical East Boston's dri-
ver's bodily Injury, property
damage, collision, and com-
prehensive coverage pre-
mium had increased by about
125 percent - from $542 to
$1,219. In Florida during the
same period, bodily Insur-
ance costs went up over 80
percent. And the L.B.J.
School study Indicates that
Texas drivers In all likeli-
hood end up paying substan-
tially more for no-fault
insurance than they do under
the current system. At the
same time, It's predicted
that the average claim would
recover less money for the
injured party covered by
such Insurance.
"Insurance needs ana
situations differ from state
to state,” Gammage conclu-
ded. “I think we should leave
it to each state to determine
what's best for Its citizens.
If the federal government
starts makingTexasandNew
York and Iowa and Nevada all
live under the same rules
regardless of local circum-
stances, we're going to have
big problems everywhere.

“That was an easy de-
cision,” he said. “We
looked at the experience of
several states which have
tried the no-fault coverage,
and we paid special attention
to a very detailed and com-
prehensive study of the
question done by the L.B.J.
School of Public Affairs at
the University of Texas In
Austin at the request of Joe
Christie when he was chair-
man of the State Board of
Insurance.
