## Resource

Homeowners insurance is shrouded in secrecy—while car and TV shopping are transparent, insurers hide critical data on claim delays and denials. Martin Weiss of Weiss Ratings exposes how insurers profit from holding policyholder money longer, even by a day, and argues this hidden data is vital for consumers. The Insurance Information Institute counters that some denials are justified, like for deductible issues or fraud. Yet Weiss insists Market Conduct Annual Statements should be public so buyers can choose wisely—revealing a deep gap between insurer practices and consumer rights.
