With a title like, “What are they up to now?”, you might
think I’m writing about my kids, the presidential candidates, politicians in
general, or some other high-profile group. What I’m talking about in today's blog are Insurance Companies. You see, earlier this
week I attended a two-day conference presented by the Florida Association of
Public Insurance Adjusters. The conference is billed as an educational and
networking event designed to improve our skill sets, become better at what we
do, and network with other industry professionals.

One of the main takeaways from the conference was learning
about significant trends in insurance industry tactics and strategies. These
strategies are usually marketed as “consumer protections”, which also just
happen to help insurance companies stuff billions more into their collective
coffers. A happy coincidence, I’m sure (that’s sarcasm, for those of you who
are unfamiliar with my writing style). Those of us whose job it is to protect
the insured from their own insurance companies, see these tactics and
strategies for what they really are, profit boosters.
