Elderly Targeted by Insurance Practices in Kansas
Kansas insurance commissioner Fletcher Bell asks the public to report suspected loading and switching schemes targeting seniors. Investigations show elderly Kansans paying thousands for unneeded policies, with examples of dozens of policies and high commissions on new sales. Bell warns such practices will not be tolerated and outlines potential refunds, license revocation, and legislative fixes. He cites cases in central Kansas including elderly women with 11 to 15 policies and a 94‑year‑old man with nearly 20 policies, totaling several thousand dollars in premiums.
