@henrymcmaster S.244 is not about helping South Carolina businesses. It is part of a much broader, national plan, coordinated by insurance companies, to increase their record profits to the detriment of our citizens and business owners.
@postandcourier Stop letting private equity and New York fat cats buy up all the hospitals and doctors offices for starters…they literally are financially incentivized to cause prices to “skyrocket”. Doctors should be the only ones who own medical practices
@SenRussellOtt This ad brought to you by Silicon Valley big tech billionaires. You are regurgitating the exact talking points that have been repeatedly proven false. I got an idea, lets put one next to your house?
Meaningful tort reform was passed last year. This is what it looks like when special interest groups (trucking, manufacturing, insurance) are left to fight for themselves instead of using bars and restaurants as the face of their argument. I just hope these trucks don’t injure or kill someone as they do this stunt in downtown Columbia.
Scalise on Fox on gov’t shutdown: Chuck Schumer's feeling the pressure, Will he and Hakeem voted to shut the government down just a week and a half ago. Right now, they are demanding a $400 billion taxpayer-funded bailout of insurance companies, of all things. And by the way, when they set those premiums and bailouts of insurance company up a few years ago to expire, premiums for families went up. Let's lower premiums from families. They've got to stop these hostage demands and open the government.
Did you know: Last month, big insurance (which made record profits 3 years running) rolled out IDENTICAL messaging? Propganda that you are now parroting for a few bucks? Shame. Lost all respect for you. Fyi - That bs figure is manufactured by the US chamber of commerce, through “studies” paid for by insurance companies and the biggest, wokest corporations.
It's incredible the sudden case of amnesia that hits these company execs just after they've taken the oath to testify before Congress
This State Farm VP can't seem to recall anything about his company—but his whistleblowers and policyholders do, and they're still suffering
Sen. Josh Hawley rakes Allstate insurance exec over the coals after homeowner testifies that company shuffled around adjusters to reduce her claim settlement and adjuster testifies he was ordered to change factual findings.

Allstate's CEO is cashing in $26 MILLION a year—but the company can't “afford” to pay out their customers' claims . . .
Allow me to translate: Policyholders get screwed, and Allstate's C-Suite gets rewarded
Insurance companies made a record $169 billion in profit in 2024—even as they raised prices and pushed for laws to avoid paying more claims, all while claiming the industry was in trouble. Stop the madness!
🚨SC Bars & Restaurants are being sold out by SC Senator Shane Massey & Insurance Companies🚨
We previously warned that Sen. Massey was using bars and restaurants as a TROJAN HORSE to pass special interest legislation favoring out of state insurance companies and corporate donors.
Yesterday, S.C. Senator Shane Massey KILLED liquor liability reform this year!
Specifically, the S.C. Senate had the chance to pass H. 3497, a liquor liability reform bill that passed the S.C. House unanimously. This bill delivered immediate relief to bars and restaurants. Rather than pass H. 3497, Senator Massey forced an amendment that DELETED H. 3497 (liquor liability reform) and replaced it with his controversial omnibus Big Insurance Bailout Bill S. 244. If Senator Massey had allowed a vote on H. 3497, liquor liability reform would have passed overwhelmingly and it would have been SIGNED INTO LAW by Governor McMaster!
Instead, Senator Massey chose to hijack the process and place out-of-state special interests over our local bars and restaurants. He chose to protect the financial interest of insurance companies, businesses that pollute our groundwater with forever chemicals (PFAS), and out of state trucking companies— all heavy donors to the @scsenategop. 💸 Just ask Sen. Massey to tell you how much these special interests have donated to the SC Senate Republican Caucus PAC!
We could have REAL liquor liability reform NOW, but Senator Massey chose his personal pet project (S. 244) over providing the much-needed help for our hospitality industry.
It’s time for Sen. Massey to put OurState ahead of AllState!
The serious possible side effects of these mRNA shots are still being criminally concealed from the public by manufacturers and government. Revoke the unconstitutional immunity from liability for those making profits and this fixes itself.
South Carolina MADD: Victim rights are “crushed under the heel of greed” by SC Senate Bill S. 244.
“From day one, we opposed Senate Bill 244 because it put crime victims last, prioritizing law-breakers over them. Unbelievably, the final version of S. 244 was even worse than the original.” Wrongdoers are given a pass while victims are left holding the bag.
The “greed” is insurance companies & corporate donors profiting in back room deals on S. 244. Elected officials should represent the people of this state, not out-of-state insurance companies, hedge fund executives, or companies that pollute our drinking water.
NEW: Florida's insurance regulator wrote that former CFO Jimmy Patronis (now in Congress) might have buried complaints against insurance companies.
Floridians filed 52,000 complaints against their insurance companies.
Only 5.2% made it to regulators.
