    Great idea! They can sell homeowners for like, I don\’t know, a .02 rate, thrown in a low deductible on wind damage (since they\’re sure there isn\’t any real chance of hurricanes) and make a ton of money! What a load bull!! The CFA is nothing more than a socialist vehicle to throw all insurance into a government run entity. They are one of Ralph Nader\’s best propaganda outlets. Pay at the pump, federal catastrophe insurance, universal health care, disability and employment insurance are all the dream projects. Karl Marx alive and well in the form of a \”consumer federation\”.

    Read the article twice and couldn\’t find anyone except the reporter as the source of \”skewered\”. This word means \”penetrated\”. The proper word, in context, is probably \”skewed\”, meaning \”misaligned\”.

    Surprised no one, especially Actuary, caught this. On the other hand, perhaps \”penetrated\” is better.

    I don\’t have a problem with \”skewered\”. There\’s more to it than \”penetrated\”. It means that the clueless reporter thinks that these consumer advocates have insurers run through with a \”skewer\” and held over the fire. If only the reporter had a clue, he would know how poorly regarded these two clowns are.

    Here is a question for you Patrick — Isn\’t it called Communism when the State runs the company?
