At The Plexus Groupe, we're always reading up on the latest industry news. Here are a half-dozen insurance stories we're bookmarking, tracking and sharing as the work week rolls on.  
 — A California firm is said to be readying an insurance product that will promise a [payout to policyholders](http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/west/2017/07/21/458549.htm) upon an earthquake in their area, damage or no damage to their homes.

— Why [driverless cars](https://www.wired.com/story/self-driving-cars-insurance-ambiguity/) aren’t quite ready yet to handle all of the driving.

— Will President Donald Trump [reduce Congress’s health benefits](http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/02/obamacare-subsidies-trump-threats-lawmakers-react-241244)?

— Kanye West [has sued multiple Lloyd’s of London syndicates](http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/08/02/kanye-west-files-10m-lawsuit-over-concert-insurance.html) regarding the matter of who should pay for his cancelled 2016 tour.

— A study reportedly claims that a policyholder’s socioeconomic status could affect their [auto insurance rates](http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2017/08/01/car-insurance-cost/104201342/) in Michigan; an industry group representing property and casualty insurers in the state disagrees.

— Illinois Democratic gubernatorial candidates have weighed in with their preferences for [revamping health insurance](https://www.chicagobusiness.com/article/20170801/BLOGS02/170809981/illinois-democratic-governor-candidates-unveil-health-insurance-plans) in the state, with two candidates suggesting single-payer as an option.
