I can see why Trump is leading the Republican candidacy

You're pretty much clueless. The insurance is out of control because of roofer scams. New laws have been passed but it will take time for changes to make a difference. Go ahead and keep demonstrating how clueless you are.

And that the FL taxpayer is paying for his presidential campaign, and that the legislature carved out special caveats just for him so he can hide his corruption from the Sunshine Law.

Nah they're more worried about Hunter Biden and Trumps fake stolen election claims

MAY? Gosh…you’d think he’s rush to address this instead of putting those dastardly Disney folk in their place, finding new books to ban from school libraries, and staging a Fascist coup,at a liberal college. Hey Ronnie, Gay. There…I said gay. Oops, said gay again…and again. Whatcha gonna do?

Woke!, Ron De Satan will come after you in his manly high heel boots, maybe the white go-go boots, freaky person.

Yea going broke in Florida would "WOKE" anyone up real fast.

His pockets are lined with Insurance money, he is good with that.

@billtr8516 Yet, when your house is blown away in a hurricane, you will gladly accept that $1M check to rebuild from the insurance company. 100 years of your measly premiums would never cover that outlay. If you truly believe that insurance companies are "greedy," then you should invest your entire retirement fund in insurance company stocks. You will quickly discover your ignorance. Over the long run, insurance companies tend to earn about the same as any other company.

Building materials have sky rocketed because of Biden's terrible handling of the economy. Check your Home Depot and see how much they want for a sheet of plywood.. If your house is destroyed/damaged, you will need these materials to fix it.

Mine went up from 3500 to over 7000 and I bought this house 4 years ago for 190k. It is only covered to 300k. They are asking almost as much as what was required to put down on the house plus closing costs when I bought it. Not every house in Florida is a $1M dollar home. All of this and my house is in the last evacuation zone, no flood zone, brand new roof, windows, and doors rated for hurricane winds back in 2019 when I bought it. The 3-4 legitimate insurance companies left in FL are just irresponsible with their spending, they are all in bed together and so long as all of them raise their rates together, there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it and they know it. Not everyone makes a claim. I haven't made a claim and when I bought my house my insurance was 1500 a year. This can also explain why rent goes up. It just gets passed through.@@Inigo_The_Son

@@Inigo_The_Son Yes, of course they would love the check that will rebuild their home. That's why they chose to have insurance coverage in the first place. Is it not? Doubling someone's insurance cost is extreme and would effect anyone. You should feel some compassion for anyone that happens to. Why you want to insult them is beyond me. Everyone pays, while only 1% of people in the country end up filing for a total loss claim, and maybe 6% for smaller claims. Yet they don't have enough money, and need more? Even with the inflation, 9000 is too much for most people. People are losing there homes over this, and you choose to be ruthless towards them.

@@cannotbeshaken7889 I think you are responding to somebody else, as your response has nothing to do with my comment. Have a nice day.

Reality doesn't go away because you choose not to believe in it. Hard lessons for climate change denialists- stupidity is extremely expensive.

Darley, Florida has always had hurricanes!! This does not make sense. Desantis is missing in action on this issue.

@@darrylturner2611 Maybe you have been hiding in a cave, but construction costs have increased astronomically over the past decade. DiSantaClause had nothing to do with that. When a widespread disaster hits a region, then costs increase even higher. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the insurance industry, let me explain. Suppose you have a house that has a replacement cost of $1 million dollars. If your house burns to the ground from a kitchen fire, then the insurance company will give you $1 million to rebuild it. However, if your house is destroyed by a hurricane, along with 10,000 other homes, then local costs skyrocket, and it may cost $2-3 million to rebuild that same house. Do you think Desantis should force insurance companies to operate at a loss? Aside from the fact that he lacks the legal authority, that is simply ridiculous. Just like every other place, insurers will continue to write policies in Florida only as long as it is profitable. For many years, insurance companies have borne the cost of high-danger zones on the backs of customers in low-danger zones. The latest changes are largely an effort to adjust premiums to reflect actual risk factors. If you chose to build/buy in a hurricane/earthquake/wildfire zone, then why should I pay extra for your poor decisions? When left alone, which is never, the free market works perfectly.

​@@darrylturner2611It's not whether there are hurricanes, but more on frequency of hurricanes. Similar to Californoa with wildfires, what was a once-a-year maybe sort of even is now happened multiple times a year. The amount of needed repair spook insurers.

@240TechGuy Tech guy, I have been a general manager for 2 different roofing companies and that is bull!! The truth is the insurance companies have made bad investments on Wall Street and have lost so much money on ATF's.

@@darrylturner2611 Biden's inflation has jacked building materials through the roof (pun intended).

Actually, many acknowledge it, but they say that it is not man made (to protect the oil industry), and a natural change, but even if they did, it is too late to stop it unless half of the world's population decides to commit suicide. A Russian scientist tried to alert us 20 years ago that the permafrost was melting and that it would release so much methane that it would create a self re-enforcing loop, and finally, all of the other scientist did the math and realized he was right, and that is why they suddenly moved up their recommendation for reduction of CO2 emission to 2030, but even if we could (and we can't because or modern economy could not function without fossil fuel) it would not matter, because the Russian was right. Too late. The only question now is how quickly will it get to the point where the Florida coastline in uninhabitable.

And the Left doesnt want to hold China Accountable for producing MORE GREENHOUSE GASSES than the WORLD COMBINED

Climate change is a World Economic Forum scam to destroy the middle class and allow a handful of companies or CEOs to control global finances. They want everyone to own nothing all while thanking their dear leaders.

Exactly what they are doing!

Yep. Same here. I am frantically shopping around. Increasing my deductibles. Its f up

The insurance companies have to get approval when they raise their rates, and it's the State who approves them.

That would assume that insurance fraud has increased compared to previous years. What has increased is claims due to extreme weather events.

I know many are saying this, but I don't think it's true. Insurance companies can handle themselves, they know how to not let themselves go into debt, and how to turn down claims, etc...Those type of roofing claims your talking about are easily detected by home insurance companies. They can easily turn them down, which they do. They know how to go to court and pay for court better than a single customer, and they are not afraid of it, so that doesn't fly. I talked to a lady who used to be an agent, who say's it's a load of crap that someone started spreading around, who was probably an agent themselves, making up excuses.

I'm saying. They keep paying whackamole . Like how long do they expect to keep rebuilding something that keeps falling apart? Forever

Florida is not filled in swampland.

I'll take the care of children over Farmers Insurance any day!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@marvelharris9540 Pedophile ?.

The SCOTUS ruled that business can deny services if they want. We’ll, here you have it.
