Victory or Illusion? The Fight Over Insurance Reform Isn’t Over Yet

Daniel Erspamer of the Pelican Institute discussed the mixed outcomes of Louisiana’s recent insurance and legal reform efforts, highlighting both meaningful progress and concerning setbacks. While some reforms targeting phantom medical billing and comparative fault passed, he warned that a controversial bill expanding the insurance commissioner’s power could undermine those gains. Erspamer emphasized that the fight for reform is far from over and urged continued public pressure to ensure long-term improvements in the state’s insurance market.
