So where are all our Republican brethren on this? Everyone seems to have disappeared.

Soon, no one will admit to voting for Rick Scott.

“The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”

Surely our Republican legislature and fine business minded governor would never do anything to harm the working people of our state. The insurance companies simply need more,more,more and we can get by on less,less,less.

Rick Scott set an example for our citizens when he declared he would only accept a dollar a year as salary. Now the rest of us can surely get by on that as well.

Legislation, legislation, legislation…..and what do we get ….
THE SHAFT every single time.

The insurance companies still after all the disasters made record
profits, BECAUSE they raise your rates and make you pay them back.

If we have to pay them back for what they are supposed to insure at
THEIR RISK, why do we really have to bother. A low interest loan could
do the same thing.

My rates jumped so high I definitely could have paid off a big loan, instead
my insurance rates will never go down, I will pay, and pay, and pay…….

Any time private citizens have to pay higher insurance premiums the result is NOT good! It means less money goes into disposable income, which means less money in our general economy. I don’t have to be an economist to figure this one out! Between gas, higher insurance rates, the new septic tank tax, you have just wiped out any disposable income we have here in Florida! You better hope the tourists show up this year!

I wish I knew more about the insurance industry. My ignorance makes it difficult to judge issues like this one.

I will quote a friend of mine, a local banker, who took some insurance classes a few years ago. His statement to me about the industry was ” Insurance companies are not in business to pay claims. They are in business to avoid paying claims”.

I kinda get concerned when *any* industry pushes so hard to pass legislation that they spend this kind of money.Someone is looking for Return on Investment.

Anyone care to buy a congressman? Rick Scott is overstocked.
