Democratic state Assemblyman Dave Jones, who is running for state insurance commissioner in the November election, said some of the same practices being corrected by the recently enacted federal health care overhaul are used by pet insurance companies, including denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions.
Jones has introduced a bill that would make pet insurers post detailed information on their websites so consumers can see exactly what is covered and what is not.
I'm all for consumer protection. I know people who swear by pet insurance and others who claim it's a total rip. I don't carry it myself but I think people should know what they are buying.
