Policyholder Protection and Transparency in Good Faith Claims

Insurance is meant to provide timely relief after loss or illness, yet many claims stall due to withheld reports, opt-out dispute clauses, and unaccountable valuation practices. This proposal ensures transparent claim information, mandatory pre-litigation resolution, and licensed, accountable appraisers—reducing unnecessary lawsuits while protecting policyholders’ right to fair, timely claim decisions.

The Three-Stage Process

Every policy goes through three stages of democratic refinement

1. Town Square

Members of the public submit policy proposals for open consideration. Proposals receive initial evaluation and support through public deliberation. Proposals meeting defined thresholds advance to the Think Tank stage.

2. Think Tank

Proposals are refined through detailed review of individual policy measures. Participants may propose changes and support legal and technical evaluation before advancement.

3. Plebislature

Reviewed proposals are presented for final consideration. Approved frameworks are prepared for legislative action.
