If the proposal for this is pushed through, why should any of us carry flood or windstorm coverage? I believe that everyone should be responsible to cover their assets & if they cannot, then they should realize their choices, sell or take the chance & gamble on losing it all. I say no more for the taxpayers on things like this if there is coverage available & the property owners choose not to insure, then they have no coverage. I also understand that sometimes people may have a hard time making ends meet, but that's why we have banks & lending institutions that are willing to loan us money on things we own. I feel that if you are not in a position to cover your assets then maybe you should sell & find something that meets your budget. Life is a gamble & most people walking into a casino knows the risk & anyone living on the Gulf Coast should know the risk too. Once it's lost – it's gone – to bad so sad if you gamble & lose.
