Insurance has changed the way it settles claims, and there are more and more problems with getting claims settled,
with class action lawsuits becoming more common.
Allstate and State Farm have been especially prone to make headlines down here for refusing to pay out in the wake of hurricanes and tornadoes.
Unfortunately, insurance is required if you have a mortgage, or a business, or a car, and now apparenlty required to have health insurance.
So, if indeed the article I posted means Congress will direct insurance companies to pay for BP damage that is a good thing ( but I still think 200 million is not going to be enough)
