      I’d go further and ringfence all the basic needs so that you can’t profit from providing them, just make enough to live off if needs be.

        I’d qualify that as for-profit mandatory insurance.

        Canpt get a mortgage without home insurance. Canpt drive a vehicle without at least liability. Those rates should be strictly government regulated to be sustainable and non-profit.

        But if you want to insure your collection if priceless Whitworth wrenches, well maybe I care a bit (Just a bit!) less about insurance gouging.

        Not sure Rick when one can insure a hole in one is just a business decision.

        But I get it health housing and catastrophic losses could be better monitored and regulated.
