The proposal is the first authorization by the supreme leader of this policy that the state version insurance was insufficient and irrevocable are not corrected. In New Jersey, California and in a number of other countries, motorists, premiums rise sharply, while the State politicians have tried to blame on the other pin.

Mr. Kean proposal was presented as part of his seventh State of the State message to a joint meeting of the legislature, a 45-minute speech in which he celebrated the New Jersey’s has warned the economic progress and increase government revenue .

With Premium averaged over $ 1000 per year and 2.5 billion U.S. dollars deficit of the State Underwriting Association, the insurance protest demonstrations have in common and policymakers have focused on the guilt of another’’special interests”for motorists “emergency situation.

So far, however, most politicians have proposed options for improving the no-fault insurance, instead of dismantling.

”If we do not, no real debt, it is time to recognize the system is not working and they take us and our misery,”Sir, “said Kean. The Alternative”Ich suggests that this afternoon is the elimination of no-fault and get rid of auto insurance mandatory.”

On the bottom line is the assurance of a trait Systems business with headquarters in 1973, that the right to charge motorists if an accident caused more than $ 200 in medical expenses. The result has been sharp increase in litigation and insurance costs.

In an attempt to reform in the years 1983, the legislature, a law the governor signed Kean, the creation of a common structure Underwriting Association to serve as pilot was unable to buy insurance companies, because they were regarded as bad risks.

Indeed, the legislation makes it profitable for brokers to sell, the political association. The result is that nearly half of drivers in New Jersey with the policy of liquidation of the association and, during the last year, the association has a 2.5 billion dollar deficit. The highest price the USA New Jersey’s automobile insurance of the highest in the country, Mr. Kean last autumn a bill to Bail Out of the association and that most motorists in the private sector or voluntary. Even with this last movement, experts say motorists “primiums expected to continue to climb.

In his speech today, Mr. Kean reiterates its support for a new amendment in the insurance system. The state, he said, should be a characteristic of the New Yorker insurance law, the use of the limits of accidents, deaths, distortion, fragmentation or other serious injuries. But the Democratic majority in the Senate has voted against such a move.

Although many political leaders were surprised by the Republican governor’s proposal, some polticians, including the chairman of the Senate, John F. Russo, a Democrat, said she would return care at the auto insurance system before 1973. Under him, the pilots were forced to prove in court, in case of accident, in the absence of compensation for medical expenses. In addition, the pilots were not required under the Insurance Act.
