LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan drivers would pay at least $125 less a year for car insurance but lose unlimited lifetime medical benefits if catastrophically injured in a crash under legislation announced Thursday by Gov. Rick Snyder and Republican lawmakers.

“Michigan’s too expensive for auto insurance,” the governor said, arguing the state has the biggest premiums in the Midwest and eighth-highest in the country. “We need to do something about it.”
