How USA fighting, the return to some form of stability after the tragedy of the World Trade Center, he has yet to take up the challenge of a sector is to continue to harden. There are market forces, who, before 11 September 2001 were set by terrorist attacks.

To an extent, the USA knows the nature of the market disruption follows that any major disaster. But in this case, the effects are more pronounced, because it is a serious new threat posed by terrorism and a new valuation for the aggregation risk that reductions in many lines of insurance. In short, the market adjusts, but it is more than a year. Regarding the cycle, companies based on the latest breakthroughs in difficult markets.

According to Bill Johnson, Vice President of the ACE: “within the U.S. economy, companies are beginning to understand that when they hear about a tough insurance market business, it really has two meanings.

It gives the buyer the prospect of insurance coverage is rare (or, in some disappear in your market segment), to extend the exclusion to develop and bonuses. And the vendor perspective, where everything that has subscribed to earn money. It is therefore a market for sellers.

The intense political advertising campaign in a year may not enter St. Michael Dukakis and George Bush. However, it is likely that the heated battle in California between Special Interest groups of voters of competing proposals on the revision of government auto insurance industry.

The ether has been blocked since early summer with admonitions voters to support or defeat, five referendums in insurance November vote. With Election Day less than six weeks away, the volume was turned, and insurance costs related to spots, seem as ubiquitous as McDonald’s and Coca-Cola during the Olympics.

The assurance of the economy looks, only to spend $ 41 million to promote their positions, including up to $ 15 million will go to television and other media purchases. Estimates of total spending by all parties concerned to $ 75 million, with the media probably spending up to $ 30 million or so.

Given that expenditure is concentrated in a single state, the campaign is one of the most expensive ever on the basis of expenditure by the voters. The presidential candidates, by comparison, are expected to spend $ 30 million in all media for the whole country. These amounts do not include expenditures separate Democratic and Republican Party organizations.

”It is probably one of the biggest campaigns that have already done in the past to a question on the country,’’said Scott Carpenter, a spokesman for campaigns of Bill Clinton Reilly, San Francisco-based consulting group policies, the creation of advertising for the insurance industry.

The only sure winners so far, the public television channels. Distribution of leaders report that demand is strong, not only the time for different camps in the insurance problem, but by other defenders of ballots and initiatives. Californians have more and more voters to decide referendums intractable political issues.

The rush of advertising has a negative tone. Spots advertising the insurer try to mine the interests of different parts of the country against aggression and lawyers as a source of California, the high prices. An association of lawyers, the study of insurance companies hungry. All pages of Frage”Fakten”werden by others.

”It is certainly not do much to help people understand what the impact of various proposals really are,’’said Jim Cathcart, a senior consultant from the State Senate Insurance Committee. ”People are very confused about them, of course.”

The insurance was the strategy controversial. The industry is running spots promoting its own proposals for a no-fault insurance scheme. But insurers are also compatible with campaigns to attack the competing initiatives, particularly Proposition 100, which would require that prices for good drivers are reduced by 20 per cent.

In another series of commercials, most insurers say the state, it is called Proposition 100 in order to solve the problems of personal insurance rich in Los Angeles. Eureka voters, for example, it is said, at a location that the solution of problems of drivers in cities like rich Beverly Hills could force their prices by 66 per cent. In another commercial tower, voters must be warned that Proposition 100, a paralyzing government bureaucracy.

The negative ads have worked. Polling has shown support for the proposal covered 100 strong, and supporters of the action have been forced to the defensive. Unfortunately,”we are in the situation compelled to react, as we want, which indicates Assekuranz,’’said Bob Schmidt, a spokesman for Woodward & McDowell, Burlingame, California, that political advertising company works to behalf of Proposition 100 Coalition.

What is the choice of the race the most expensive in American history, except for a collection for the presidency force in California - and nobody runs once and for the office of communication.

The question is motor insurance. Voters confused a multitude of referendums in November-five of the vote. According to the results of their premiums, down 7 to 50 percent in return for claims on borders and other changes.

Insurance is an emotional topic in a state where the car is almost as much as the need for shelter and utilities. Faced with Brech premium, Californians have insurance with the revolutionary fervor of taxpayers, that the rebellion began 10 years ago, and dissemination throughout the country. The industry feared an extension

The insurance industry fears that the revolt is California - already built the anger of consumers in New Jersey, where rates are still higher than in California - and more than 250 insurance companies across the country have a fund $ 43 million to combat and offer them eigenen”no-fault”Plan at lower prices.

Trial Gegenläufige them are lawyers, consumer groups and others. The fight is expected to cost approximately $ 60 million and is by far the most expensive ever selection race in each federal state.

Voters vote for the month of May any or all proposals, which means that more than a passer. After the State of California, the right to receive a greater number of votes is a priority, but if other proposals on how to do more than 50 percent of votes, contain provisions which are not in the head, then go into force of these provisions as well.

The results could also unclear that the courts can classify them, especially if a few sentences to win at odds with each other. “A Bellwether State”

For several weeks, insurers and lawyers were studying the trade jabs - and misleading claims, many say - on television, radio and newspaper advertisements.

”California is a state leader - What happens here can not,’’said Donald H. McComber, Executive Vice President of Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company, is a leader in the industry’s efforts. ”All the world think we do a lot of money. We have too much money to communicate, which has no debt is gone and the fact that we sponsor.”

Insurers “no-fault proposal would have a motorist’s own insurance company to pay medical expenses and loss of wages and limit damages for pain and suffering and lawyers’ fees of success.

A plan of competitors provided by the test, lawyers unconventional action of the system, which means that the fault partly an accident of this party and insurers must pay, and it would be, new controls on the insurer. The stakes are enormous

A plan mounted by a group of consumers would strictly regulate rates. Another project itself, pain and suffering claims of up to 25 per cent of victims of economic losses.

The stakes are enormous. With 13.6 million insured cars and $ 8.6 billion in annual premiums during the year 1986, California represents 15 percent of the total national market of automobile insurance. According to AM Best Company, the insurance Rater, average premiums in the state, grew by 59 percent from 1982 to 1986, so that the most expensive California to the State of New Jersey and Alaska.

The average annual premium for liability and property damage was a car, 568 $ ($ 46 more than the average premium in New York at the time). Around Los Angeles and San Francisco families with two or three cars as well as pay $ 3500 to $ 4000 Carrier insurance say they should receive much higher prices in large cities, because damages and fraud are very high. Prices have increased since 1986 and this year, probably 15 to 20 per cent of 1987.

The result has been mounting public anger, frustration and false representation widespread lower rates of profits. A state study estimates that more than three million vehicles, or about one fifth, is illegal never driven without insurance. A consumer has estimated that the number is so high that 86 per cent in some parts of Los Angeles.

In”Der path of deflation insurance rates”(Op-Ed, March 29), Bob Hunter and Jay Angoff blame for everything that rising auto insurance premiums, except higher costs.

Auto insurance pays for items in higher overhead faster than the inflation rate. These include medical assistance and clinic for the wounded, the legal defence for the insured, the owner of the return flight oder”belief”Autos, and the cost of labour and parts to repair cars damaged. Given that these costs increase, ie insurance rates.

Mr. Jäger, Mr. Angoff refuse the high cost for insuring a car in”mehreren urban areas.”While we do, but also the number of insurance claims and costs to resolve them to rise spectacular in many areas.

Even in metropolitan areas the differences in costs can be considerable. An average driver in Los Angeles has also helped to pay much more than four times more for basic research insurance protection as a pilot similar to Atlanta, because the laws on appeals for greater liberalization in California , And costs related to demands for accountability increase dramatically in California. From 1986 to 1987, the average cost of each car Aetna California state responsibility, jumped 24.2 per cent.

Mr. Jäger, Mr. Angoff also lightly say that the repeal of the McCarran-Ferguson Act, the force of competing insurers and therefore lower prices of auto insurance. McCarran-Ferguson, public regulation of the insurance sector, so that all commissioners in the state and respond to concerns of insurance at the local level. In addition, it allows insurers to collect data on the insured loss. The competitiveness of small insurance companies, especially would be violated by their inability, access to these data. In passing McCarran-Ferguson, Congress has accepted its provisions were necessary for the functioning of the insurance business and consumer interests.

What would happen actually on the market, if McCarran-Ferguson have been lifted? We do not know and can do so. But there are no facts support the hypothesis that the repeal would lead to a greater or low availability. In fact, the federal system could lead to the increase in subsidies to urban areas at high risk for a driver to lower pilot rural and even higher tariffs on auto insurance. It would then be consumers, the insurer would be very seriously injured by the abolition of McCarran-Ferguson.

A result of the McCarran-Ferguson Act is a very competitive insurance market in which insurers, large and small to win the battle profitable business. Because this competition, including a large national organization, as Aetna May hopes win only 4 percent or 5 percent automobile insurance rates.

Insurers compete with hundreds of premiums for drivers to the security of each state, and there are few restrictions for others wishing to do likewise. But those who think it is simply a store, a underregulated business, a shop are not competitive or renditestarke for a nasty surprise.
