Insurance companies are great at playing the power game in the U.S.
|
|
and around the world. They convinced everyone to be insurance conscious
|
|
and have caused laws to be passed which supposedly require us to carry
|
|
certain types of insurance. Even the age-old tradition of showing the
|
|
bride and groom with rice has fallen victim to the demands and restrictions
|
|
of the insurance company. Insurance coverage now dictates how, and even
|
|
if, some of our traditional events will be conducted-fireworks use and
|
|
public displays, reunions in the public parks-even where and how you park
|
|
your car.
|
|
The insurance firms and banks are virtually partners in their many
|
|
financial dealings. Bank loan customers are often obligated to purchase
|
|
insurance through the bank's facilities. Insurance firms have done such
|
|
a job building power bases that they have convinced city governments to
|
|
pay millions of dollars in premiums when the city could easily be self-
|
|
insured. Often the insurance carrier is smallar than the city government
|
|
it insures, but it continues to collect excessive premiums. When small
|
|
harassment claims are made, instead of fighting them to set an example
|
|
that unfounded claims will not be paid, they settle it for a few thousand
|
|
dollars-it is cheaper than fighting. This opens the door to more nuisance
|
|
claims for small amounts. The payoffs do not cost the insurnance company
|
|
since they use them as ammunition to justify higher premiums to their insured
|
|
customers.
|
|
Then to top it all off, the Power Masters take a big portion of
|
|
the premiums collected and buy reinsurance from privately owned insurance
|
|
companies located in tax haven nations such as bermuda and the bahamas.
|
|
The offshore insurance firms are usually nothing more than a desk and a
|
|
secretary. The identity of the owners and directors is protected, so the
|
|
heads of the U.S. insurance firms can actually buy the reinsurance from their
|
|
own offshore company. It is a justifiable cost of doing business and is
|
|
then added to the premiums you pay for your car, house, the cost of your
|
|
medical insurance and all the other things you want to protect against
|
|
financial loss. Even your doctor must pass along his higher premiums for
|
|
malpractice insurance by increasing his charges for office calls and
|
|
operations. You can be certain the insurance carrier will "lay off" a big
|
|
chuck of those excessive and abusive premiums (profits) with one of their
|
|
off-shore reinsurance firms.
|
|
Of course, the foreign insurance companies seldom have to pay a claim.
|
|
The coverage they provide is so excessive as to be non-existent. If the
|
|
real U.S. insurance company does have to fall back on the reinsurance
|
|
firm for settlement of an oustanding claim, the owners merely bankrupt the
|
|
off-shore firm and start a new one. Same desk, different phone number and
|
|
name. Since they are not covered by the multitude of insurance regulations
|
|
requiring reserves, they have all their assets hidden so a filling of
|
|
bankruptcy can be accomplished quickly and easily.
|
|
With all this power and money (tax free), the Power Masters
|
|
go out and organize the people who pay the premiums and trick them
|
|
into demanding that the state legislators put limits on the amount
|
|
of damages a person can collect from an insurance claim. This is to offset
|
|
some jury awards for millions of dollars as compensation for
|
|
hurt feelings.
|
|
You can bet the insurance executives are not going to lose any
|
|
sleep thinking about whether or not to pass along the savings to
|
|
their customers in the form of lowers premiums. They have created
|
|
one of the most powerful financial bases imaginable. Their legislative
|
|
lobby has caused the creation of rules which supposedly require
|
|
damages they can be ordered to pay by a jury; a means of sending
|
|
money out of the country (beyond the tax collector's reach)
|
|
and then loan it back to select firms and financial organizations
|
|
with the stipulation that they help to sell even more insurance.
|
|
If you have decided to take advantage of the current
|
|
rule system and create an economic and political power base for
|
|
yourself, then you must study the means used by the insurance
|
|
industry. A very informative book is one released in 1987
|
|
by Gary Fagg, "Crediit Life and Disability Insurance."
|
|
.
|
|
A REAL UN-INSURANCE SCHEME
|
|
.
|
|
There is a provision in an International Treaty which is now the
|
|
law of our land (Title 46, Section 183 of the U.S. Code). This
|
|
limits the amount of liability which can be charged to the
|
|
owners and operators of a "sea going vessel" in the
|
|
event of an accident. Subsequent Federal law extendes the term "sea
|
|
going vessel" to include all boats. What it does is to limit the amount of
|
|
damages payable to an amount equal to the value of the vessel.
|
|
The exceptioons would be for intentional damage or knowingly failing
|
|
to provide assitance agter a collision and thereby causing the death of
|
|
someone.
|
|
Despite this specific limitation of liability, many boat owners run
|
|
out and pay exorbitant annual insurance premiums for coverage
|
|
which is supposed to amount to millions of dollars. The insurance firms love
|
|
to see boat owners cooming in the door. They only make a few
|
|
stipulations: Your boat must be surveyed (appraised by an expert to
|
|
establish a value); you pay the premium with the policy stipulation that
|
|
despite the face value amount of coverage, all such insurance will be subject
|
|
to international agreements.
|
|
Simply stated, the policy says the Million Dollars of coverage listed on
|
|
the face is reduced to the value of the vessel. The value of a boat
|
|
should have nothing to do with the premium one must pay for LIABILITY
|
|
coverage. But it does, because of the International Treaty which has
|
|
been adoped as a law.
|
|
Then, to compound matters, the insurance firms start loaning out
|
|
money to marina operators with the stipulation that they "require"
|
|
everyone, using the marina or renting a slip for their boat or canoe,
|
|
to carry a minimum $1 Million liability insurance policy.
|
|
Those premiums for virtually non-existent liability insurance really
|
|
do add up to a profitable bundle.
|
|
.
|
|
MANATORY INSURANCE-IT IS NOT!
|
|
.
|
|
Mandatory insurance? Don't you believe it! There is nothing mandatory
|
|
about the so-called Mandatory Insurance laws your state may have on its
|
|
books. It's another of the double-speak word games designed to trick
|
|
people into surrendering their rights. The words and meanings have beeb so
|
|
twisted around in our laws and courts that you can't even be certain that a
|
|
person whose record indicates something as blatant as a "sex offender"
|
|
ever did anything wrong.
|
|
You have a right to travel about freely by the most accepted means
|
|
of transportation at your disposal. Obviously, if your car is unsafe you
|
|
can be restrained from using it. If you can not stop the car because
|
|
of bad brakes, you are seriously endangering the health and safety of
|
|
everyone on the streets and sidewalks.
|
|
To require you to show financial responsibility after an accident
|
|
is a perfectly valid law. You cannot do financial harm to
|
|
others and not expect to have restrictions placed on your
|
|
subsequent actions. After you have an accident, the court can order you
|
|
to refrain from operating a motor vehicle until you have made
|
|
satisfactory arrangements to correct the financial harm you
|
|
have caused.
|
|
But, to require you to have insurance BEFORE you have been declared
|
|
financially irresponsible-BEFORE you can license your car (pay the taxes
|
|
on it)-BEFORE you can operate your car-that is PRIOR RESTRAINT and
|
|
violates the Constitutional Limits placed on government which requires
|
|
Due Process of Law and mandates that everyone shall be considered
|
|
innocent until proven guilty. You may never be involved in an accident
|
|
for which you would be liable for damages. To enforce such a rule would
|
|
violate the basic precept of the Constitution. California courts struck
|
|
down such efforts as being "in conflict with the Constitution" almost
|
|
as fast as law enforcement officers tried to demand that drivers show
|
|
proof of insurance.
|
|
Other states have the same law on their books, but are reluctant
|
|
to try to try enforcing it except AFTER an accident. They want to
|
|
keep this intimidating rule and hope it forces people to buy
|
|
insurance. They are passing a rule off as a law and by doing so,
|
|
weakening all real laws, the Constitution and the foundations
|
|
of the entire nation.
|
|
The word MANDATORY in the title of the law (rule) does not
|
|
mean a thing. Remember the old adage, "You can't judge a book
|
|
by its comver?" That is especially true of laws-you can not judge
|
|
a law's purpose or legality by it title. This rule was given a
|
|
title the media could use to erroneously promulgate a myth of
|
|
mandatory insurance. Then it was given a sub-title to further
|
|
mislead the public. The sub-title usually reads "All vehicles
|
|
required to have liability insurance." Following the Title and
|
|
sub-title comes the body copy of the rule. That is waht
|
|
really counts. Titles do not mean a thing.
|
|
If you want to entitle a law "ANTI-CHILD ABUSE LAW"
|
|
and then draft body copy to make it illigal to chew gum on
|
|
Sunday, you can do it. If people do not challenge the basic
|
|
authority of such a law,they can be arrested and jailed for
|
|
chewing gum on Sunday. The person who accepts such an offer
|
|
and pleads guilty will then have a record of violating the
|
|
CHILD ABUSE law.
|
|
If you think that is ridiculous you haven't been paying
|
|
attention to some of the weird rules and harmful laws being
|
|
foisted off on our unsuspecting legislators, the media and
|
|
the ever harassed public. Some states have included urinating
|
|
in public as a Sex Offense. If a man pulls his car to the side
|
|
of the road and relieves that extra cup of coffee or beer in the
|
|
bushes, in the dark of night, and is seen by a police officer, he
|
|
can be arrested. If he is intimidated enough to plead guilty to
|
|
such a charge he will not elaborate on or describe the actual
|
|
offense. Try explainning such a record to a cop who wants to
|
|
know why you are parked so close to the school. Explain it
|
|
to your boss when you are being checked out for a sensitive
|
|
position within your firm.
|
|
Why doesn't your lawyer tell you all these things? You probably
|
|
do not hire an attorney every time you get a ticket. Many people
|
|
wait until they are obviously in serious trouble before they
|
|
are willing to lay out money for legal advise. But, sometimes you
|
|
can hire a lawyer an he still does not tell you-either because he
|
|
is not aware of some of the tricks being played with the law or
|
|
he just wants the fee and you are not a big enough fish to cause
|
|
him to do a lot of research for your defense. Most lawyers just
|
|
are not aware of what is happening to the rules and laws. There
|
|
stock and trade is where to look it up and how to follow the procedures
|
|
(rules) of the Court. They cannot possibly know all the laws and
|
|
rules. If you really expect that of your attorney, you should go to
|
|
your local law library and take a look at what lawyers have to contend
|
|
with.
|
|
Even the Judges don't always tell lawyers everything when they make a
|
|
ruling or deny a petition. Attorneys have been preconditioned in law school
|
|
and beyond to admit to the superior wisdom of the high court justices.
|
|
Young lawyers are awestruck and will often try to defend an untenable
|
|
position taken by a judge, simply because he does not know what else
|
|
to do. The judges are lawyers and the recent law school graduates
|
|
know that lawyers must stick together to maintain the mystique and dignity
|
|
of their hard earned licenses to practice law.
|
|
It would be nice if you could be handed an entire brief of case law to
|
|
verify the information you are getting in this book, but that would make it
|
|
to simple. There are a number of court rulings at various levels which
|
|
will substantiate the differences between rules and laws. You will find
|
|
them if you read very carefully, but the rulings are no obvious. If
|
|
they were, this book would not have been published.
|
|
If all the lawyers knew about all the differences, the government
|
|
bureaucrats and power brokers would not be able to use rule to circumvent
|
|
the Constitutional restrictions and Unalienable Rights of the peoople. The
|
|
Supreme Court of the United States is very adept at keeping the double-
|
|
speak game going. If an appeal is taken to our highest court and the
|
|
questions is not phrased in a manner which would allow them to give a
|
|
double-speak answer, the Court will refuse to hear the case and let the lower
|
|
Court's decision stand. This is almost always interpreted to mean that the
|
|
particular law or rule in question is Constitutionally valid. All it really
|
|
means is that the question was not phrased in such a manner as to pin-down
|
|
the Supreme Court Justices. (See Stare Decisis,Chapter 15).
|
|
Lawyers are constantly in a quandry trying to understand why a higher
|
|
court refuse to hear an appeal which they were certain was valid. The
|
|
thousands of lawyers dropping out of the legal system each year is
|
|
evidence that something is wrong. Young men and women do not usually
|
|
spend years going to school to study such a venerable profession only
|
|
to "drop out" just when they should be enjoying the rewards of hard
|
|
work. They are dropping out because they feel the system sucks-and that
|
|
is because they do not understand the differences between rules and law.
|
|
The Supreme Court does not have to hear every case presented to it.
|
|
There are a number of legal clerks working for the court and they make
|
|
recommendationsas to which cases the judges should consider. Because of
|
|
this procedure, these clerks are in highly influencial positions. If
|
|
they see a case which would obviously warrant a ruling with which the
|
|
Court's clerk does not agree because of some personal moral or political
|
|
quirk, then the clerk will try to dissuade the jurist from considering
|
|
it. If a case is brought to the Supreme Court with the wrong question
|
|
(one which would most likely result in a decision contrary to the Control
|
|
Rules) the clerk might urge the Jurists to REFUSE to hear it and thereby
|
|
allow a lower court decision stand.
|
|
.
|
|
AN ALTERNATIVE TO LIABILITY INSURANCE
|
|
.
|
|
Many states are pushing the so-called "Mandatory Insurance" rule
|
|
in an effort to curtail the numerous uninsured motorist on the streets.
|
|
There is nothing wrong with a person wanting to be protected from financial
|
|
loss if they are stuck by some idiot driver, or even if they are the
|
|
idiot drivers themselves.
|
|
Any thinking person will acknowledge that there is an ELEMENT OF RISK
|
|
involved everytime we get behind the wheel of a car and move it out onto
|
|
the streets. The risk is clear and constant. Since we are obviously willing
|
|
to take that risk, why shouldn't we buy insurance just to protect ourselves
|
|
against financial loss and forget about trying to force everyone to buy
|
|
a liability policy? If you want to protect yourself in amounts that you
|
|
set, you pay the premium and let the rest of the world drive uninsured if
|
|
that's what they want to do. Liability would only be considered when
|
|
intentional damage is inflicted, similar to the Federal liability limitations
|
|
on vessels and on industry via the Workman's Compensation Act. Some
|
|
states have such insurance provisions known as "NO FAULT" insurance.
|
|
With "No-Fault," the insured is paid or reimbursed by his own insurance
|
|
company. Unless the damage was done intentionally, it doesn't make any
|
|
financial difference who was in the wrong. If the other guy has not
|
|
purchased insurance coverage for himself, he cannot collect. Insurance
|
|
companies do not like "No-Fault" since it does not give them time to play
|
|
with the money once a claim is made-they have to pay instead of dragging
|
|
their feet for a year or two while they carry the money on their books
|
|
and profit from investing it.
|
|
The only problem with this is that people who are uninsured will often
|
|
require medical treatment and that could be costly. The SOLUTION is to do
|
|
an actuarial study of the medical cost and property damage claims
|
|
(other than the damages to the vehicles). Divide that figure by the number
|
|
of gallons of gasoline and motor vehicle diesel fuel sold in the
|
|
states, then add that amount (about 7 cents per gallon) to the price
|
|
of the fuel at the pump.
|
|
A person who drives a big car will do more damage if involved in an
|
|
accident than a person driving a small car. At the same time the big
|
|
car will need more fuel and therefore pay more for the basic insurance
|
|
coverage via the pump price.
|
|
Someone who drives 25,000 miles a year will be buying more gas and be
|
|
more "at ridk" than the person who just drives to church on Sunday-and
|
|
they pay the minimum insurance according to the amount of gasoline they
|
|
use, when they buy it.
|
|
So the government does not get into the insurance business, the
|
|
premiums paid at the pump should be devided up among various insurance
|
|
companies according to the percentage of suppliemental coverage they are
|
|
selling. They would pay claims to hospitals and damaged property owners
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
Today, when a person has four cars, he has to buy liability coverage
|
|
on all four vehicles, even through he can only drive one at a time.
|
|
Some of his vehicles, even though he can only drive one. Some of his
|
|
vehicles might only be driven once a month. With this new method, he
|
|
can buy insurance to protect his vehicles against a loss and insure
|
|
himself with extended coverage for personal injury and medical cost.
|
|
But the basic cost of medical coverage would come from the money he
|
|
aid for gasoline-the pump insurance premium!
|
|
People will be free to travel without the bureaucrats trying to
|
|
convince them that they can not drive without insurance (prior restraint).
|
|
They will no longer be gouged by insurance companies who charge for
|
|
every vehicle. People who drive more would pay more. People who
|
|
drive less would pay less.
