Title: another way the Ins industry is trying to screw you ...
Post by: (Tattoo) Jack on May 13, 2015, 08:44:48 am

 Heard this on NPR this morning. One of the comments that really pissed me off was the one about them utilizing different programs, and algorithms, to find out what's the maximum price the Market will sustain. You being the "Market".

Call them and try to negotiate a lower rate. If you get no satisfaction, shop around and get a new insurer.  Same with cable, satellite, phone, credit cards, banks, etc....anytime there is a competitor, you have the power to get the lowest price and they know this or they lose customers.  They just hope that you won't be the proactive one who does it.

When you have fine print in a contract to read, it usually has some permutation of "we reserve the right to share data with third parties".  Clicking on "yes" gives them the right to pass it all around.
