Dr. Colon argued that no insurance industry representative had provided data showing what reduction in fees would yield in consumer savings after six months of discussion, and that PIP is a flat-fee closed system requiring no actuarial mystery. Miranda Clifton countered that insurers currently pay many times what Medicaid or health insurance pays and that a fee schedule need not go below Medicare rates. Carlene Ryan stated she did not understand why the task force was pushing the recommendation without evidence it would address premiums.

“I'm at a loss to explain why the insurance industry can't use actuaries to figure out how $15,000 be paid, regardless of who it's paid to. PIP is pip. It's a flat fee. We all buy X, Y or Z. That doesn't change. So if they have a PIP problem, maybe they have an actuarial issue. We've had this discussion for six months and today we have not answered that question.”
