Bay Area Houston

Get off your butt and do something! It is easy.

Our Senator Mayes Middleton filed SB1006. The hearing for SB1006 is scheduled for Tuesday March 4 starting at 10:00am in Austin. Our State Representative Dennis Paul filed a “companion” bill which is an exact duplicate. The bill will require an insurance company to write a letter to a policy holder if they deny or cancel your policy. That’s it. Nothing more. It will NOT lower our premiums or deductibles.

Here are some talking points:

• We are in dire need of premium and deductible relief.
• This bill will not reduce our premiums
• This bill will not make our deductibles reasonable
• At the very least this bill should require the insurance companies to report denial of service to the Department of Insurance and make this information public.
