Colbert's Solution For the "Pre-existing Condition" Conundrum
Forget going to your reps on Capitol Hill to remind them that a woman is not a preexisting condition. So what if a toddler who barely has preexistence is denied health insurance because, at a healthy weight of 22 pounds, she's deemed too skinny? Leave the poor health insurance companies aloooone!
Healthy and Unwealthy: 20-Somethings DIY Health Care
Trading prescriptions. Self-diagnosing on the Internet (guilty!). Skipping doses to make prescriptions last (I've done that with insurance?).

Should Insurance Rates Be Raised With Climate Change Risk?
Insurance companies have incorporated climate change assumptions into their disaster probability calculations, thus withdrawing coverage or charging staggering rates on parts of the US East and Gulf coasts.
According to the Wall Street Journal, there is a scientific consensus about rising sea temperatures, and practically a consensus that the temperature is tied to greater hurricane activity. But, science has not definitively concluded how or if this will impact the US coastal area now facing rising premiums.
Democrats Want to Nationalize Hurricane Insurance
Congressional Democrats, Florida lawmakers, and major insurance companies are teaming up to significantly nationalize hurricane insurance just in time for hurricane season.
Under the plan, taxpayers would finance a backup insurance plan that would aid insurance companies, and thus policyholders, in case of widespread disaster and a shortage of funds.
Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton support the insurance plan, under which all Americans would help Floridians avoid $500 in hurricane premiums each year.

Remember Eagle Man, the creepy talking bird who laid an egg on some chick's car? He's ba-ack and more explosive than ever. Eagle Insurance amped up the budget for the ad below, but this didn't improve the quality of the commercial— it just made the insanity last even longer.
Pimpin' Out The Car Insurance
"Hey baby, get ya some of that Lincoln insurance"...because when it comes to auto insurance, we all want the gold (tooth) standard, right? I think this chump took the "Pimp My Ride" concept a bit too far.
Craving Another Low-Budget Eagle Man Commercial?
Eagle Insurance broke open the piggy bank and made another redonkulous ad for our viewing hilarity. To keep things "fresh," they gave Eagle Man the boot and replaced him with a woman — Eagle Woman. Sex sells and she just has more appeal.
