    I’m just waiting for State Farm to tell me I no longer have insurance.

    Watch for the FLGOP to try passing a law making it illegal for insurance companies to quit the state or for the Congressional GOP to try passing a law that forces insurance companies to operate in all 50 states if they are over a certain size. / gross income.

      Sigh, trying to convince my parents to sell the FL house and get out before this comes to a head. They get it, but they still don’t realize that it’s not going to get better or be fixed somehow.

      What happens to your mortgage when your insurer drops you? Does the bank call the loan in when you can no longer buy the required coverage?
