Consumer advocacy organization monitoring insurance regulation and industry practices
Consumer Federation of America
The Consumer Federation of America's Insurance division focuses on protecting consumers in the insurance marketplace, where Americans spend hundreds of billions annually on car, home, and life insurance products. They publish reports and articles.
CFA works to improve the effectiveness of state insurance regulation, recognizing that many state insurance departments lack adequate resources or will to properly regulate insurers. The organization addresses issues of insurer inefficiency and abuse enabled by complex products and individual pricing practices.
Where appropriate, CFA supports federal interventions to strengthen consumer protections. Their work covers regulatory oversight, policy analysis, and advocacy for improved insurance practices that better serve consumer interests across all major insurance lines.
