Don't blame State Farm or other insurance companies for what's going on in FL. It's politics at its worst. State Farm asked for a rate increase (a big one) but the governor wouldn't allow it. Insurance companies aren't charities -- they are in business like everyone else and need to make a profit. State Farm can't operate at a loss forever. Price controls don't work -- they lead to shortages. Now there's a shortage of insurance in FL. Thank your governor. Let the market work. And no, I'm not with State Farm, just know a little something about the insurance business.
