our
insurance

we the consumers, make our frustrations known. Insurance
reform is coming nationwide and we all need to be involved in what
happens. Get involved. Use our website

to allow
our officials to think for us. We make
it easy for you to email and email often and to voice your opinions. They need to hear from you and when you read
or hear about an upcoming rule or law to be voted on, voice your
opinion and do
it often.

Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America (IIABA) is not only concerned with man-made catastrophic risks but also those created by the forces of nature. The high costs of recent natural disasters combined with the fear of future catastrophes have restricted homeowners’ insurance availability in disaster-prone regions. Several recent multibillion-dollar disasters have created exposure and solvency issues for companies that write homeowners insurance in disaster prone areas. As a result, many insurance companies have stopped writing new business in or withdrawn from at-risk markets, making it difficult for residents to find homeowners’ coverage.

Insurance companies cannot offer hurricane insurance due to it large economic and catastrophic nature so the federal government has to offer it. It can be serviced by the same organizations. Then the property insurance companies could remove wind from their policies and reduce our premiums. We would in turn be offered wind policies like flood policies and our insurance companies would have no valid reason to stop writing insurance in our states. We need a viable insurance marketplace to recover from catastrophic wind losses. It is impossible for each state to take on this economic burden without federal backing through one of their state run insurance pools. I understand that the other perils of earthquake and terrorism could also be offered under this type of national insurance, but for now we need to start the process with wind.
