>Auto Insurance PIP: medical care a “pot of gold to abuse”
Last summer, the Christie administration called the part of New Jersey auto insurance policies that helps pay for accident victims’ medical care a “pot of gold to abuse” after doctors and at least one Hudson County hospital submitted wildly inflated bills.
Officials stressed that personal injury protection, better known as PIP, is the fastest-growing auto insurance cost in a state where rates are already among the highest in the nation. (Livio, The Star-Ledger)
