Insurance industry calls Harris' claim that insurers are canceling policies 'false, wrong and dangerous'

The insurance industry is pushing back after Vice President Kamala Harris suggested insurance companies have canceled the policies of victims of California's wildfires, calling her claim "false, wrong and dangerous."

During a press conference regarding the ongoing wildfires on Thursday, Harris said, "Many insurance companies have canceled insurance for a lot of the families who have been affected and will be affected, which is only going to delay or place an added burden on their ability to recover."

"I think that is an important point that must be raised," she continued, "and hopefully there can be some way to address that issue, because these families — so many of them — otherwise will not have the resources to recover in any meaningful way, and many of them have lost everything."

Cancelled .
Dont left these firms do any business in the state period .

Its very hard to get insurance once you are dropped .

[ncalburt]

Fl has hurricanes .
They can hit or not hit.
These insurance firms are cherry picking now everywhere .
The state needs to ban the insurance from doing any business in that state .

I’m sorta glad rich celebrities are involved because they are pissed and blaming leadership rightfully where it should be.

Most of them are blaming it on Global Warming and Trump.
