密歇根新闻广播 高额医疗费用让密歇根汽车保险费率攀升

（单词翻译）

Last week in Crain’s Detroit Business, Chad Livengood wrote about how Detroit factory workers are charged more than lawyers for auto¹ insurance. Livengood joined Stateside to explain a new study that looked at why rates are so high in the city.

The study, conducted by California researcher Douglas Heller, tested six major insurance carriers using a 30-year-old female profile. It found the rates she received varied² widely depending on her level of education, job title, and area of the state she lived in.

“This study really tries to poke³ holes at the argument that medical costs are not the only issue that drivers deal with,” Livengood said. “You could see noticeable steps up in their auto insurance rates based on their education.”
