We\’ve proven how \”well\” government programs work for insurance Roger, let\’s do this nationally. Have you a screw loose Roger? Government cannot solve your problems. The free market is always right! You want to fix the insurance problems in Florida and other places? Stop regulating rates and rules and let the market work! To summarize: Karl Marx bad, Adam Smith good.
Special antitrust protection provisions afforded insurers, and clever lobbyists, protecting the industry\’s \”market\” conduct whims, is not a truly free market now is it?
Any mafia like organization can claim \’you have the freedom to do business with them, or their brother Frankie\’.
Just for fun, apply the indentured servant defintion below to hard working policy owners, and claimants…
It seems that those with the least amount of complaints, solid reserves and service, are the least likely to need to keep airing commercials about how great they are.
As a midwestener I welcome the opportunity to pay more for my premium so that the chosen people of Florida do not pay an actuarily sound premium.
My only question is:
Why stop there? I\’d also welcome the opportunity to subsidize them on Auto, Life, Health and Liaility insurance.
In fact I really think that they should not pay anything at all and we can all just pitch in to pay for them. After all insurance is pretty expensive in Florida and we would not want to impinge on their standard of living.
Should an insurer [in Florida] not segregate their Florida book of business from the rest of the nation, aren\’t Floridians paying a pro rata share for your covered house if it blows down / burns up?
Just some observations that maybe Mr. Brevik may want to confirm:
1) There will be a state subsidy for insurers to purchase reinsurance.
2) There will be a state subsidy of insureds to encourage them to take proactive loss-control measures.
Again, in light of the moral of the story The Three Little Pigs, why are we doing this? If the Senate and People of Florida wish to engage in this, great. Will the rest of the 49 states get to vote on this, or will a national subsidy of Florida hurricane insurance be buried in some massive U. S. house or senate bill, maybe such bill to include subsidy for a new A1A bridge to Key West with 12 lanes, so it will be easier to evacuate more people from the keys when the next hurricane hits?

How would a national catastrophic financial safety-net benefit insurers, and insured consumers, wallets?

P.S. Honorable insurers also exist.

Bozo,

Just a thought.
