2/ #ProtectPolicyholders New Report on Executive Compensation Our allies at the Consumer Federation of America have taken a hard look at insurance executive compensation. Doug Heller

Great point Real Reform Louisiana! The most predictable move by insurers to block accountability is promising that "tort reform" will lower rates. Pols fall for it (spurred by campaign $$) but it never works. Consumers lose rights & rates still rise. Consumer Federation of America lailluminator.com/2022/06/01/tor…

So, your #homeinsurance might not cover all the catastrophe risks in your region (something you don't want to learn AFTER the storm). Great reporting by Tara Siegel Bernard to help guide folks, especially as #ClimateChange increases risks. Consumer Federation of America United Policyholders nytimes.com/2022/08/23/bus…

As @blinfisherABJ explained in the Akron Beacon Journal this weekend, in #Ohio, auto insurers can raise premiums on a good driver after their spouse passes away.This #WidowPenalty is not allowed in several other states and should be blocked in OH. Consumer Federation of America beaconjournal.com/story/news/202…

How is it that #Ohio lets @Progressive punish safe drivers with a #WidowPenalty - higher premiums after a spouse dies? Gouging widows is cruel even for #insurance cos. Consumer Federation of America wrote OHInsurance Director French to demand action. @MikeDewine AARP consumerfed.org/wp-content/upl…

What's with the anti-Cheers vibe @Progressive? They call the #insurance customers they care the least about Sams and Dianes. But where's the risk? She's always playing it safe and he hasn't had a drink in years! (oh, I see, it's not about the risk.)

“The attempt by at least 2 insurers to stop Attorney General Ferguson from investigating the relationship between the use of credit and drivers’ race or ethnicity suggests that these companies are concerned about what will be uncovered." - Doug Heller, CFA's Director of Insurance

New @consumerfed & CJ&D (centerjd on Threads)☮️ ⚖️ report shows insurers' rebranding of "lawsuits" as "social inflation" to justify rate hikes on biz, nonprofits, doctors & truckers is just same ruse/different name.
