Insurers of last resort are state-enabled programs meant to provide insurance to properties that insurers refuse to cover. And yet in our @cplusc.bsky.social report, we find these plans are ill designed to meet their policy objectives, and are instead run by and for the private insurance sector 🧵
As insurance prices balloon & companies refuse renewals, state “insurers of last resort” (FAIR plans) are often the only coverage option left for many homeowners. Our new report explains how they often prioritize cost savings for companies, not affordability for families.
