- Wrong. The insurance company and its investors put up their capital to
- invest in the first place. Once you have "paid" them, that money is theirs
- also. As long as they stick to the legal contract they have made they are
- within their rights to do what they want with their money.
-
- If their contract gives them to right to revoke coverage or raise premiums,
- that's just tough luck. If you agreed to it, you are the one at fault.
