    Right on Wes. We could call it part H (for homeowners coverage) and have Medicare pick up the bill. Everyone could have coverage from Medicare for $20 to $35 per month depending on what copay you want. We could have formulary like Part D. Tier 1 could be Replacement Cost, Tier 2 Actual Cash Value, Tier 3 build it you damn self, and Tier 4 labor ready (ie hire some illegals and pay the cash under table for less than minimum wage).

    Get a life! After 49 messages … unless I mis-counted … you OBJECTED TO A LIMERICK? It\’s a joke, get it? Laugh, long, laugh often. Trust me, you\’ll live longer! And if you are in this crazy insurance biz, as I am, you need all the laughs you can get! And MOST \’SPECIALLY, if you are an agent in Florida!

    P.S. I bet what ticked you off was the germ of truth: that Florida taxpayers are now on the hook. Double bet: you\’re a member of the \”Democrat\” party. Ha, ha! That\’s a joke, too! If you didn\’t \”get\” that one, you either have no ear for English, didn\’t listen to the State of the Union Address, &/or don\’t support your local NPR station. How\’s that for serious?

    There once was a governor named Crist
    Who delivered when consumers were pissed.
    Like turning water to wine,
    Free insurance did he devine.
    Now the taxpayers are slitting their wrists!

    That\’s enough!!!! This is a very serious subject. Our careers depend on the outcome of this. We have allowed the Florida Legislature to pass amendments that are not informened, not viable and mostly not to the best interest of the people that we are supposed to serve. We have a responsibility to look at insurance as a life altering decision. When we start taking our careers in a frivolous tone, so does the public. How can we expect them to respect the advise we give them about \”insuring to value\” \”replacement cost coverage\” \”personal liability\” if we think this should come down to something silly out of our mouths. Listen to your clients, have some empathy, write the Govenor, do something… don\’t make jokes about something so serious. It is not a laughing matter.

    PS Cut the politics, Use your brains and come up with some other alternatives like????

    The stupidity and senseless diatribe needs to end. Unless you have something positive to contribute why not keep it to yourself.

    Take a professional approach and don\’t demean yourself or our profession.
    Thank you!

    IF you freely choose to live in Florida you should be responsible to pay for YOUR CHOICE. Why should the rest of the country pay for YOUR CHOICE. I Choose to live in the Chicago area and I pay for my high gas bills in the winter.

    This is like the ILLEGAL Aliens things again, everyone has to pay for people who do not take responsiblity for their choices/actions.

    At the rate this country is going we will destroy ourselves, we won\’t need anyone else.

    If you live in a FLOOD zone why should the rest of us pay!!!! If you live on cliff and it drops, why should the rest of us pay!!!!

    GET THE POINT!!!

    Just got my new Homeowners Policy, and nearly had another cardiac arrest. I would like to demand that the State of Florida investigate the PROFITS, SALARIES OF EXECUTIVES AND COMMISSIONS OF AGENTS to this worthy company!
    Ready to move out of this State of confusion!

    If you do not like State Farm’s premium or what their agents, executives, etc make then go with a different company. Cant find one cheaper? Maybe its because of the high risk and $$$$billions insurance companies pay everytime a hurricane hits FL. Want to pay less? Move to Missouri where I live. My homeowners is $700 a year and has all the bells and whistles. I regularly write policies for $400 to $800 a year here. Wonder why that is? Huh could it be the lack of Hurricanes? You want to punish agents, executives, etc that work hard to get where they have in life. They probably did outrageous things like go to college, get degrees, get professional designations, and work hard. Sounds like a redistribution of wealth plan. People like you make me vomit. By the way, I do not work for State Farm. They are competition for me. I do not think it is the goverments job to investigate how much anybody makes nor redistribute it to anyone else. Up yours!
