In other words it gives the Insurance Companies a license to steal

How is cracking down on frivolous lawsuits giving the insurance companies a license to steal? Doesn't the current system give the injury attorneys a license to steal?

Yes ours went way up. Thanks to a woman at Farmers, she told me how to get it down. I would use Farmers but I have my car insurance through my union and I can’t write my house through my union. It’s complicated

When I talked to him, he told me they will renew present policies but are not writing new policies. I will be calling them again today.

That said, I was curious, and called USAA this morning (March 7, 2023). Yes, they ARE still writing new policies here for service members, as well as renewing them. I encourage interested existing clients of USAA to give them a call and confirm if you are shopping for Homeowners Insurance.

I applied for USAA a couple of weeks ago. First attempt was online which was not accepted, and they provided a phone number to call customer service. Called USAA and the service rep could see I had applied online. She asked me all the questions I had been asked online. Result...your application is denied because of excessive wind damage in Florida. :shrug:

New homes can have close to $1k in discounts due to meeting there latest wind and hurricane standards.
