Strengthen consumer protections
House Democrats are committed to increasing consumer protections for Michigan residents. We voted to repeal Michigan's unfair and one-of-a-kind 1996 law that gives big drug companies total immunity when they sell dangerous drugs, such as Vioxx, that harm or kill our residents. We also are cracking down on identity theft, one of the fastest-growing crimes in the nation, by taking steps to protect our residents. In addition, we are tackling predatory lending and unscrupulous insurance companies that inflate consumers' rates based on their ZIP codes.
