Insurance

Insurance

Consumers spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on car, home, and life insurance products whose complexity and individual pricing permit insurer inefficiency and abuse. A large majority of the state insurance departments that regulate these insurers have neither the resources nor the will to do so adequately. CFA works to improve the effectiveness of this regulation and, where appropriate, supports federal interventions.
