Wrong they are in Business to make money
But dealing with a catastrophe is exactly what insurance companies do. And make no mistake about it . . . a disaster like this doesn't just cost insurance companies a lot of money in claims -- it also presents them a marvelous opportunity to show their potential customers just how good they are at dealing with these situations.
In fact, I would venture to guess that within two weeks every major insurance carrier in the U.S. will convene a team of marketing specialists to craft television commercials for next year's Super Bowl -- showing people how quickly these companies responded in a time of distress.
