INSURANCE IN NEW YORK STATE (March 23, 2011).

The Insurance Industry
Wants to Make Their Problem
Your Problem. We Say No!
Their problem: Poor business practices, shady accounting,
money lost in the stock and bond markets.
They’ve even scared some people into fighting their
battle for them,
like doctors, patients, homeowners and small businesses.
Why do they want to shift their responsibility for
investment losses and mismanagement to us?
What else are they up to?
Insurance companies want to solve their business problems
on the backs of policyholders and weaken our civil justice system.
SAY NO!
FIGHT BACK!
MEMBERS OF AMERICANS FOR INSURANCE REFORM
Reform the insurance industry instead of
lose your rights to have your claims paid
and hold wrongdoers accountable in court.

and measures that can help
solve it,
