I am confident that if legislation were to be proposed that would require insurance companies to produce clear contracts and honor them scrupulously with severe penalties for failure to do so there would be no opposition. Zero. Even if the taxpayers had to pony up extra for the enforcement. There will be a spiral of increasing insurance costs,and people will scream about that. Then the insurance companies will shrug their shoulders and say, well, that is what it costs, we would go bankrupt if we don't increase our premiums. As if they are blameless. It's the guv'ment's fault, they will say, we are just responding to the increased costs we face from onerous regulations and the medical sector generally.
