We enjoy reading about insurance, and we tend to think you enjoy doing the same. With this in mind, here are a half-dozen industry-related stories we're sharing, bookmarking and thumbing through:  
 → Uber is slightly raising rates in eight states, including Illinois, to give drivers a chance to buy a form of [personal injury insurance](https://www.buzzfeed.com/carolineodonovan/uber-customers-will-pay-more-so-drivers-can-buy-insurance?utm_term=.ecPzKO6GQ#.ldljqY0El).

→ The *Detroit Free Press* has put together an impressive series of stories on [Michigan's no-fault auto insurance](http://www.freep.com/story/detroit/2017/05/06/why-is-detroit-car-insurance-expensive-costs-so-much/101374948/).

→ Wisconsin governor Scott Walker wants the state to [self-insure its medical plan](http://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/2017/05/08/insurance-could-shift-250000-wisconsin-state-workers-under-scott-walker-budget-proposal/101431732/) for state employees, but his proposal might lack the [necessary legislative support](http://host.madison.com/ct/news/local/govt-and-politics/election-matters/joint-finance-co-chairs-plan-to-reject-scott-walker-s/article_278ba557-7977-5e23-8c90-c3d6817aab8f.html).

→ How would [employer-sponsored health insurance](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/here-is-how-the-american-health-care-act-would-affect-employer-based-insurance/) change if the American Health Care Act was implemented as is? CBS News took a closer look.

→ Florida employers will be paying more in [workers' compensation insurance](https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/florida/articles/2017-05-09/florida-court-approves-insurance-rate-hike-for-businesses).
