Quote of Note
I think you all don’t realize the degree to which you are pushing some of us who have been the industry’s friends for a long time. It’s increasingly difficult to continue defending the industry. One of the ways you all can prove your willingness to be a bit adaptable is to try to help us come to a solution for this.

TRIA Debate Heats Up with Charge ‘Nervous Nelly’ P/C Insurers Enjoy $7B ‘Subsidy’



Looks like they need a total bonding capacity of $10.3B for 1 Event and another $11B for 2 Events for a total bonding capacity of $21.2B to cover 2 events.
“at best could issue $7 billion in bonds”.
A $21.2B bond offering is 3.2x larger than the LARGEST bond offering EVER issued.

I’m sure that ALL Florida citizens would be agreeable to help with a bailout. Afterall, they don’t think they’ll ever really have to do this, because it will never happen to them and insurance carriers are basically scum bags anyway and charge way too much money and make way too much insofar as profits are concerned. Just ask the Florida DOI, which is the most hated DOI (for good reasons) in the country!!
The author of this release appears to have been confused after reading so many zeros. So much that it appears their m’s and b’s got mixed up.
I hope this isn’t going on with the state’s coffers…
