    I didn\’t know what \”exclusion\” meant because it was not in plain english. I would have understood if it had said \”ya aint covered for damages caused by water coming from outside of ya house\”.

    I invented the term \”exclusion\” and I intended it to be ambiguous. This way when global warming devastates the seaboard of the US – people who didnt pay for this coverage will get it free anyway-kind of like solar power. Im such a freaking jeanyus!

    Obviously we need more federal regulation of insurance. When in doubt, legislate your way around contracts!

    Senator:

    If you don\’t know what an exclusion is what in the hell are you doing in the senate?

    Exclusion: that what you have done to us taxpayers! Excluded us from the same type of retirement benefits you receive without paying a nickel! Excluded us from superior healthcare like you receive!

    What do you need plain language for? Hurricane Katrina never happened, just like other events that I don\’t want to think about. Now give me some more hostages so I can humiliate the brits.

    A typical policy has 200 limiting conditions, including exclusions. Just make a place on the policy for Senator Lott to sign saying \”I have read\”.

    I wonder if the Senator ever thought why policies are written in \”Legaleeze\”? Does he know that any ambiguity is settled in favor of the insured? Has he ever seen Insurance companies posting world record profits? I don\’t think so. His ill considered legislation is a shame. Too bad he can go after the Gas Companies where the real money and price gouging is.

    Hummm – Can you say POLICY CONDITIONS – Give me a break – if the people don\’t know what their policy covers – slapping it on the declarations page isn\’t going to help – Can you say… READ YOUR $y#* POLICY? If you don’t “understand it” then ask your Insurance Professional for help – – – Most insurance polices are written to be understood by a person of \”average intelligence”, – obviously Mr. Lott doesn\’t fall within this category…

    …as long as the laws that Lott and his colleagues write have the same clear and unambiguous cover-letter stating what the laws do and do not do, who they do and do not apply to, when they do and do not apply, and who they do and do not benefit and to what degree.

    When legislators get to the point they can do this, they will then have earned the right to insist that others do the same.
