Hawley Demands Insurance Companies Answer for ‘Morally Obscene’ Disaster Claim Denials
Today, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to insurance companies regarding reports that claims related to Hurricane Helene are being denied after Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton devastated American communities.
