An expose of insurance injustice and a plan for consumers and lawmakers to fight it Over the last two decades, insurance has become less of a safety net and more of a spider's web: sticky and complicated, designed to ensnare as much as to aid. Insurance companies now often try to delay payment of justified claims, deny payment altogether, and defend these actions by forcing claimants to enter litigation. Jay M. Feinman, a legal scholar and insurance expert, explains how these trends developed, how the government ought to fix the system, and what the rest of us can do to protect ourselves. He shows that the denial of valid claims is not occasional or accidental or the fault of a few bad employees. It's the result of an increasing and systematic focus on maximizing profits by major companies such as Allstate and State Farm. Citing dozens of stories of victims who were unfairly denied payment, Feinman explains how people can be more cautious when shopping for policies and what to do when pursuing a disputed claim. He also lays out a plan for the legal reforms needed to prevent future abuses. This exposé will help drive the discussion of this increasingly hot- button issue.

The volume, complexity, and irregularity of computational data in modern algorithms and simulations necessitates an unorthodox approach to computing. Understanding the facets and possibilities of soft computing algorithms is necessary for the accurate and timely processing of complex data. Research Advances in the Integration of Big Data and Smart Computing builds on the available literature in the realm of Big Data while providing further research opportunities in this dynamic field. This publication provides the resources necessary for technology developers, scientists, and policymakers to adopt and implement new paradigms in computational methods across the globe. The chapters in this publication advance the body of knowledge on soft computing techniques through topics such as transmission control protocol for mobile ad hoc networks, feature extraction, comparative analysis of filtering techniques, big data in economic policy, and advanced dimensionality reduction methods.
