Subject: RE: voters credit scores?
When the insurance industry implimented credit scoring, they raised rates and then discounted rates back down for those with the very best credit scores. The overall effect was to raise rates.
Like others have said, if in fact this ballot measure caused 60% of the policyholders rates to increase, the insurance industry would be very much in favor of it.
Instead, we're seeing a large amount of gorilla marketing from the insurance lobby, such as a real piece of BS that I received in the mail just today from the "Browne Family Farm" that was actually "Paid for by Oregonians Against Insurance Rate Increases" which we all know is an insurance industry front.
