    Yep, blame climate change. The more natural disasters the more they need to pay out. Would be cool if we still had the smaller guys that only specialize in your local area.

    Why does my policy need to go up in MI when there’s a hurricane in FL? Because national insurance pulls from the same pot.

      Is national insurance the name of a privatised insurance company in the US?

      Cos here in the UK that’s what they call the more regressive part of our tax system that’s notionally earmarked for public health, state pension, unemployment benefit, etc…
