So we ask - why is the Ontario government gifting auto insurers with our healthcare dollars?

For 11 years the Ontario government has known that the taxpayers are paying too much for the healthcare of MVA victims post accident. The Auditor General has told them so in more than one report. The Minister of Finance recently put out the HSPRN report that acknowledges that the actual cost to OHIP was $383 million in 2013/14. This is a shortfall of $241 million in just one year. The loss to the taxpayer, who is paying while insurers aren't, is well over $1 billion in just the last 5 years alone.

THE TRUTH REVEALED ABOUT INSURANCE COMPANIES’ PROFITS IN ONTARIO

Dr. Fred Lazar and Dr. Eli Prisman have updated the 2013 report to include data for 2014. The update found that consumers likely overpaid by $1.5 billion in the last two years alone. This includes overpayments of $700 million (or about $100 for each insurance policy) in 2014 on top of the $840 million in 2013. In addition to overpaying for insurance, the report concluded that the total industrywide profits in 2014 alone were 10.6 per cent – or nearly twice the levels considered reasonable.
