Kathy and her legions are prone to distrust a business whose math they don't pretend or want to understand. They look for easily quoted math bites that support their outrage and frustration, irrespective of whether they bear any relationship to Florida homeowners insurance. They have no issue with an industry not profiting one cent from Florida homeowners insurance as long as the price meets their budget. There's no balance in this viewpoint, only the manic mentality of someone whose cost of living is running ahead of their resources. Of course this is a crime for which someone must pay, right? What Kathy fails to grasp is that this restitution will fall upon her and other Floridians. No matter, however, as Citizens has come to the rescue - for now, at least. This is as long a view as she cares to have. Don't try to educate her, as underpriced premiums talk and logic walks. Good luck, Kathy - I hope one day you can afford quality insurance. Who knows, maybe this time Citizens will remain solvent. We'll check back in October.
