Washington State Officials Support Fair Insurance Action

Referendum 67 is rallying support from elected officials all over the state of Washington and beyond. Governor Christie Gregoire endorses the action in addition to many other elected officials including Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler , King, Pierce, Snohomish county executives, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels, and 59 state legislators.

According to approve67.org, the referendum will move to require that insurance companies treat their policyholders honestly and fairly. The essence of R-67 is to prohibit insurers from unreasonably denying coverage or payment of benefits to first party claimants.
