Insurance is not a transfer or risk, it’s an access to capital with set conditions should certain events happen
What's your unpopular insurance opinion?

It’s never fun to talk about #CAT losses when a large one is happening. The #PalisadesFire is a tragic event but there is much to be learned from it and the other CAT events from the past year. We spoke to @CatIQ_Inc CEO Laura Twidle and director Caroline Floyd

Matt has great points here. Captives insurance is a viable option and there is more capacity and attention on this risk vehicle than ever before
America faces a crisis. Wildfires ravage the Western USA and threaten to shatter our property insurance markets. Forest management is no panacea and California’s property insurance market teeters on the brink. Insurance markets can fail – recall Florida post-Hurricane Andrew. No property coverage = no lending. No lending = real estate collapse. That’s a road to depression. Captive insurance is the answer. Captive insurance allows property owners to create their own insurance solutions. More risk-takers = more capacity. More capacity = lower premiums. Stakeholders, with more skin in the game, privately invest in wildfire mitigation. This stabilizes the insurance markets. But the IRS stands in the way. Half a century of arbitrary prosecution of captive insurance companies sidelined our nation’s best solution. It’s time for change. End the war on captive insurance. Flood insurance markets with capacity, create thousands of jobs, and spark the American insurance renaissance. A flick of the pen opens the door. An IRS Revenue Ruling outlining rebuttable presumptions as to what transactions qualify as “insurance” for federal income tax purposes stops the frivolous litigation. It costs nothing. It generates state revenue. It makes jobs. Everyone wins. Download my whitepaper now. Learn the problem. See the solution. Demand action.

The politics are not the issue but I wonder how many people in the Palisades are in a similar situation?
FYI… James Woods doesn’t have a home owners insurance policy. MAGA!
