Why all of this talk about rates? Let’s turn the policies into HO-1 or HO-8 policies with buybacks. Those that are so cost sensitive could buy a basic policy at about what they pay now and those who want better coverage, more like what’s available in the private sector, could pay additional. Everybody wins and no one has to be accused of allowing huge rate increases.
Why can’t Citizens go to its original roots ? Citizens was created to be the company of last resort. Take out meant TAKE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! This would be a great start to shed 500,000 policies. If the private market wants to cherry pick their risks let us write into citizens and they can take out accordingly.
