  1. We already don't have the coverage option for damages from Natural disasters. It is in the news that Insurance companies will not write policies to cover Natural Disasters. Damages from Hurricane and Flooding, Fires, Tornadoes, etc.

  2. Everyone pays insurance by law in Canada and companies require policy holders to mitigate loss and damage, as an example of a different system.

  3. Does anyone find it strange that we keep rebuilding nice homes 🏡 in hurricane prone regions?

    We all know it’s only a matter of time before they get destroyed.

    Insurance is not a luxury doesn’t matter how rich you are insurance companies won’t write you a policy if they know they’ll need to replace the entire asset. If you’re rich just be your own insurance company.

    No bank will lend you money for a mortgage if you can’t get home owners insurance because don’t want to be left holding the bag when you’re house gets destroyed.

  4. Hilary in the Palm Springs area 😡all the issues are over 20 years old that they know about 😃we get sprinkles they close roads 😡

    we got 85 degrees in Aug 😀usually 110 😝and my plants and trees are green😀it was a blessing

    but now I'm sure my home insurance will double because of all this BULL💩 and will have to sell my home and go live in the street with everyone else🖕🏾

    we live in a system of 100% theft

    and as your rates go up they get our tax dollars from all the evil corrupt corporate owned politicians

    😡look what these evil things just did to Maui 😠EVIL

    WE ARE JUST SLAVES🖕🏾

  5. After losing so much to stock market, One best investment decision I ever made afterwards was investing in financial markets. Which has earned me $34,970 profit every 14days lately. Trust me guys it pays a lot.>>

  6. It's inevitable that folks are going to have to give up building in some areas. That also means forests and flood zones. The taxpayers can't afford to rebuild places that get wiped out every year rolled over.

  7. Just give every Citizen X amount of dollars and get rid of all these government programs. That's every citizen not just the dump ones that live in an areas that get wiped out all the time.
