by Jay M. Feinman
On This Page
Description
An expose of insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight back. The denial of valid insurance claims is not occasional or accidental or the fault of a few bad employees. It's the result of an increasing and systematic focus on maximizing profits by major companies such as Allstate and State Farm. Citing dozens of stories of victims who were unfairly denied payment, the book explains how people can be more careful when shopping for policies and what to do when pursuing show more a disputed claim. It also lays out a plan for the legal reforms needed to prevent future abuses. show lessTags

I of course read this for the aesthetic considerations post Luigi. A lot of it I knew because the Katrina lawsuits are still on going to this day, but it was extremely useful to read how McKinsey once again is responsible for everything terrible in this world. Some hilarious asides -- that a majority of Mississippians thought insurance ceos were worse than child molesters! But the suggestions are kind of what you expect. Read everything clearly, buy extra if you can, and get yourself a lawyer and a gun.
