TN house bill allows insurance companies to make stealth changes to policies...

[cynatnite]

With it’s shiny new amendment, HB2454 now reads that if an insurance company changes your policy and notifies you in the fine print of a flyer they send to you with your bill, the change to your policy will take effect and bind you to that change by the simple act of you paying your bill. In other words, HB2454 says that your written and cashed check or automatic bill payment is enough to allow them to completely change your policy.

And this isn’t a bill that would just hurt consumers. It would harm any entity that buys insurance — including small businesses that hire and administrative person to handle all their bill payments. How many bookkeepers read every piece of paper included in a bill and how will you be able to prove that they didn’t?

7. There is only one way to get our

rulers to change and that is feet on the ground. I could write letters all day long to all of them and would be sent a form letter or none at all. I realize others think we are rednecks but the rednecks are the ones in Nashville. Religious, woman-hating, holier-than-thou rednecks.

"effin'."

5. All of my insurance premiums are directly withdrawn from my bank without notice.

Does that mean. they could change my policy without even the benefit of fine print? These republican states really are anti regular people, aren't they?
