Ontario Government Proposes New Auto Insurance Options

According to The Globe and Mail, the Ontario government is proposing to allow consumers to purchase less auto insurance coverage in order to keep down their auto insurance premiums.

Proposed changes include:

- lower the minimum medical and rehabilitation coverage for auto insurance to $50,000 from the current $100,000;
- adding a new deductible for property damage; and
- removing an insurer's right to an assessment from their own doctor if they disagree with the findings of the insurance company's health provider.
