Insurance companies take advantage of consumers
My colleague, Rick Shapiro, has written a series of articles on how insurance companies and big corporations convinced regular consumers that constitutional protections and state civil justice laws were actually bad for them. These interesting articles explore the scam, and how mom and pops nationwide gave away their constitutional and state law protections.
In the mid-1980s, with insurance companies hitting a slump, the insurance industry’s "tort reform" movement, as it became known, broadened its emphasis.
