DUBAI, Dec 3 (Reuters) - Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Sunday for reform of the insurance sector, where companies are increasingly withdrawing assistance against climate shocks.

Lower-income countries and workers in nations most affected by climate change are struggling to access insurance to help protect them from economic shocks.

"We need to rethink the insurance industry," Clinton said during a panel on women and climate resiliency. "Insurance companies are pulling out of so many places. They're not insuring homes. They're not insuring businesses."

Clinton earlier this year joined the Arsht-Rock Foundation Resilience Center as a global ambassador on heat, health and gender. The center has pioneered new forms of so-called parametric insurance that offer payments once disasters hit a pre-set extreme.

Any international conference that has the forever lying Hillary Clinton as a speaker you know is a phony conference to start with.

I think that they believe that “amortizing the risk” over other policy holders’ policies, is a license to choose to live in a proven dangerous place, and have us help pay for their cost of reconstruction/injury/death, when we’ve made a smart choice not to live in those obviously risky places. An “intellect test” should be mandatory.

Sometimes, the risk is too great, and not worth the premium payments, based upon natural events and weather.

Do you know if those people are already in a “high risk pool” with the insurance companies?

No, to whatever she says.

Based on my experience.

Because she is running. The #JihadJunta and 9/10ths of America want her gone, but like a rancid boil she keeps festering back…

“Course, some people in Florida would suggest that...”

Every year South Fl — both Gulf & Atlantic sides — are hurricane freeways, with some years worse than others. Hurricane insurance sure isn’t cheap. I went thru one in the mid-70s, in an apt in Miami, with 3ft high water and 70-80mph wind. We got off easy compared to some.
