Comments on: Well, Isn’t That Precious https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/05/10/well-isnt-that-precious/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 11 May 2006 21:55:38 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2006/05/10/well-isnt-that-precious/comment-page-1/#comment-5778 Thu, 11 May 2006 21:55:38 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/2006/05/10/well-isnt-that-precious/#comment-5778 It is well past the time when you shouldn’t be able to sell insurance unless you provide it. Obviously this is something that could better be handled by the government because the private sector isn’t interested in provided the service.

In Florida we have an insurer of last resort that took a real hit while the private companies prospered.

You can’t get a mortgage without it, but you can’t get them to pay off on a claim.

In my dreams, the Justice Department takes a long, hard look at all those loopholes the insurance companies keep jumping through to avoid providing value for the money.

They want the profits, but they don’t want to risk anything, create anything, or do anything for the profits.

The insurance companies aren’t selling insurance anymore, like most large corporations they are selling their stock.

What a crappy thing to do to people who’ve been paying for all this time. You’d think they would be grandfathered in.
