Delay, Deny, Defend: Exposing the Insurance Industry’s Biggest Secrets with Jay Feinman

Описание: 💰 Insurance is supposed to protect us—but too often, it leaves us confused, frustrated, and out thousands of dollars. From denied health insurance claims to skyrocketing homeowners insurance premiums, it feels like the system is working against us. Why? And more importantly—what can we do about it?
