With the possibility of climate changes coming, insurance companies are going to increase premiums... Is this another "scam"... in using climate changes to charge more money at the expense of consumers?

They should be forced to pay out what they promise when disaster hits. Many Katrina vicims were jilted by their insurers.

Just another way that the insurance companies have unjustly figured out how to steal more money from people.

Congratulations! The Care2 Community has promoted your submission to the Care2 News Network Front Page.

Thanks everyone for helping this important issue reach the front page.

The insurance companies are out to make a buck anyway that can. Shame on them for using Climate Change as an excuse!

Guess who has one the biggest pools of money to lend out? If you own a Fortune 500 company and you need money you go the the insurance companies, they are one of THE biggest institutional lenders in the world.
