Regulators exist to protect consumers and keep the insurance market fair and transparent, which includes being a resource for the public when issues arise. Handling claims, complaints, and inquiries from the general public is a direct way they serve constituents, providing access to information, oversight, and resolution when people interact with insurers or the industry.

Setting annual tax rates is a fiscal government function, not a regulator’s primary role in overseeing insurers. Approving individual policy premiums for each insurer isn’t how regulation works in practice—the regulator reviews rate filings and policy forms at a general level, not every single premium. Providing investment advisory services to policyholders isn’t the regulator’s service either; regulators supervise investments and market conduct rather than act as advisers to policyholders.
