Insurance Lobbyists Launch Propaganda Campaign to Protect Their Ability To Overcharge Poor & Minority Drivers

The American Property Casualty Insurance Association is lobbying in California to charge drivers without a college education, or a white-collar, high-paying job, up to 25% more for their auto insurance. The surcharges are based on their job and education violates the consumer and civil rights. Insurers are giving discounts to rich white drivers and jacking up rates for drivers in poor communities of color to pay for it. They are also blatantly refusing insurance to someone because they live in an area deemed to be a poor financial risk. They’re spinning fake news to claim they’re helping the least fortunate!

I ask you do you really think you are protected having insurance when they are doing something like this?
