Fraud in insurance attacks asawareness hearing in district code debate
G W Cave of the American Home Insurance Company denounces assessment methods as preying on the ignorant public at a Washington hearing before the Commissioners. Debate centers on amendments requiring deposits and asset disclosures for assessment firms, with representatives of small companies fighting the plan as confiscation. Cave accuses the firms of fraud and weak protections for policyholders while others defend the existing practices and call for broader reform.
