The Netherlands built a 1 billion dollar a year maintenance gate to avoid floods in their country. It cost them even more to build. When asked if they didn't think it was too much to spend on maintenance per year they responded saying that with what was spent rebuilding from hurricane Harvey in the US one time, they could maintain the gate for 125 years. It is a business.

Excellent video showing what seems obvious examples of corruption and economic crimes by insurance companies. Thoroughly disgusting.

Frontline has been the best news program on television for years.

Clearly this is why you don’t allow private companies to profit from necessities. Power grid/critical infrastructure and utilities along with disaster insurance and healthcare should ALL be nationalized.

Holy shit this sounds like VA claims. I think I have more PTSD from dealing with the run around than combat.

It seems this kind of investigative journalism has unfortunately become rare.

This is the same thing happened in Puerto Rico.

I remember a group of bikers that did more for our neighborhood than FEMA and the red cross ever did. They came with food and water and generators to charge our phones, they were there for about 2 months. Red Cross gave us weird tasting water and MREs, once. I'll never forget that WE the people are the ones that help not the politicians.

This is first rate journalism. The level of blatant incompetence displayed here by all these people in charge is maddening.

The insurance lobby spends over $150,000,000. Pharmacy spends over twice that. So we don't get much of a break that's a lot of money they need to rip us for to make up for it.<br>The lobby needs to be severely regulated. Congress doesn't work for us and that's why so many are multimillionairs.
