The government should be in the business of fighting predatory pricing. Based on the other comments that people have a very hard time figuring out how much they would be paying(significant legal jargon obfuscation) it seems like people are being "forced"(as in no alternative) into contracts where they don't have a full understanding of what they are signing/paying. That seems pretty predatory to me

Predatory pricing is pricing too low so competition is forced out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing

That's not alleged here at all. "People have a very hard time figuring out how much they would be paying" no, what's being said is people are having a hard time reading the documents submitted to the regulator. If you want to know how much you'll pay, just get a quote from the insurer directly.
