What is the definition of Deregulation?
Deregulation, in the insurance industry, refers to the decrease of government control. This includes aspects such as how the insurance companies set their prices, as well as what products are sold and the forms used. For commercial insurance, deregulation has already been instated in some states.
Deregulation allows insurance companies with more leeway and freedom that allows them to compete with each other. This means that companies from different industries and sectors can work together to provide competitive products and services. It is still widely debated whether deregulation is helpful or harmful to the economy.
It must be noted, though, that although there is deregulation, the rules and regulations of the state insurance code are still enforced.
