Titus Kaphar on the Meaning of the Missing

When changes to auto-no fault insurance in Michigan passed in 2019, lawmakers hailed it as a bipartisan win.

On this episode, we hear about the attempts to increase the caps on in-home nursing care for catastrophically injured crash survivors--and why proposed reforms are stalling.

GUEST: 

Tracy Samilton, energy and transportation reporter for Michigan Public
