D. C. Riley, J.
(dissenting). I respectfully dissent. Defendant’s contention that MCL 500.3109(1); MSA 24.13109(1), which authorizes an insurer to set off benefits payable against benefits received from a governmental source, is constitutional and not violative of public policy, was answered contrary to its position in Wysocki v Detroit Automobile Inter-Insurance Exchange, 77 Mich App 565; 258 NW2d 561 (1977), O'Donnell v State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co, 70 Mich App 487; 245 NW2d 801 (1976), lv gtd, 397 Mich 848 (1976), Pollock v Frankenmuth Mutual Insurance Co, 79 Mich App 218; 261 NW2d 554 (1977), and Mielke v Michigan Millers Mutual Insurance Co, 82 Mich App 721; 267 NW2d 165 (1978).
I concur in the holdings of these decisions.
I would affirm.
