The worst PIP bill seen to date, CS for HB 119 sponsored by Rep. Boyd, is on the agenda for consideration by the House Civil Justice Subcommittee tomorrow morning, Wednesday, January 25th, at 8:00am. Please make it a personal priority today to contact members of this committee listed below. This bill creates a PIP system that would be totally based on emergency care. Only those (a) transported by ambulance, (b) treated in a hospital by MD, DO, dentist, ARNP or PA, or (c) admitted to the hospital would be eligible for the $10,000 in benefits. Hospital care must take place within 72 hours of the accident. Only if you have one of these scenarios could you then get “subsequent care” by the same listed providers. No treatment by DC or LMT is allowed. Click here to see a list of the changes this bill would create by shifting from a PIP to an “emergency care system.”

Here are just a few of the obvious flaws that can be mentioned to legislators listed below, who will be considering this bill tomorrow morning:
