The ongoing struggle to preserve maximum underwriting freedom for insurers continues, with approximately 16 states (to date) considering new legislation to prohibit insures' consideration of consumer credit information. Although the volume of legislation is consistent with the previous 3 years to 4 years, streamlined and unified messaging by the industry is paying early dividends in the legislative arena.

What a shame they couldn't figure out a way to call it the Patriot Amendment.
So who could be opposed to this splendid success in re-sparking a dying democracy? Funny, every one of the donors seems to list "employer" under "occupation." That would include insurance companies, realtors, developers, right-wing front groups, well-known right-wing donors including Bush "Pione...
