I agree, but I also pay about $240 per year for collision and comprehensive coverage on my car that is only worth $10,000. I would probably drop that coverage before I dropped the sinkhole coverage. But, unlike many people, I always evaluate the cost of insurance, and, if I think it is getting too high, I will drop it. If my homeowner's insurance gets too high, I will cancel it and self-insure my house.
