I agree to the sentiments expressed against insurance companies and their efforts to oversell and underpay customers. We—my family—have been a victim of this.
First priority should be to get the government—with the exception of the courts—the hell out of the insurance business. I am not seeing anything in the Constitution relating to the creation and regulation of insurance companies. The insurance racket is what it is due to the protections afforded them via government policies.
That being said, insurance and the companies that provide it will remain a necessity for as long as people remain unable to self-insure their personal property. Insurance companies are a product of our debt-based consumerist society in the United States. The only way to avoid insurance companies is to save for the replacement cost of your home, your car and your life. That isn’t happening in any country with a per-capita household debt level as high as ours.
