All insured homeowners rates are subsidizing those who cheat. It's NOT just those who received "free" roofs!
If that is true, I would say that the insurance companies are also cheaters for paying fraudulent claims for roofs that are not weather damaged, and paying for damage to houses that don't have vacant home insurance. Why would they pay bogus claims and pass the cost onto other homeowners?
