SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Citing growing shortages of homeowners, renters, and condo insurance in California, which the industry is using to pressure Sacramento leaders into a last-minute bailout that would lead to skyrocketing insurance premiums, Consumer Watchdog this morning asked CA Attorney General Rob Bonta to initiate an immediate investigation into whether insurance companies are colluding with each other to force higher prices, in violation of California law. 

Key Points: 
  • "Insurance companies doing business in California are orchestrating shortages to pressure state officials to boost insurance premiums and authorize a massive bailout of the insurance industry that will likely cost Californians billions," the letter to the Attorney General states.
  • "Industry insiders have confirmed the companies' deliberate, ongoing destabilization of the marketplace and have described to Consumer Watchdog how insurance companies and their lobbyists coordinate their actions to create shortages."
  • "We have also learned from industry insiders how the insurance companies coordinate their activity," the letter continues.
  • This is not the first time insurance companies have conspired to create shortages in California, Consumer Watchdog told AG Bonta.
