Citizens and legal residents are leaving California. Illegals don’t need car insurance. Thus...

I want to know WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE, too -- was it health insurance, auto coverage, or home insurance???

Aren't people leaving California in droves... to places like the Pacific Northwest, and also to Arizona and Texas?

Wouldn't it be 'normal' for an insurance company to downsize IF many former residents of California are now NON-residents???

Thank you.

I don't think I was really expecting it to be auto insurance.

Mercury Insurance

You would think Mercury Insurance would be booming - due to all the new commie Compact Fluorescent Light bulbs releasing toxic Mercury all over our homes when they break.

Wouldn't people want insurance for that ?

Tennessee is a good choice, low cost of living, NO state Income TAX, and House, Senate and Governorship is now GOP controled. Just stay out of Memphis.

illegals and criminals don’t buy auto ins...at least that’s the way it works in Memphis, and the rest of the country.

Proves you can’t mandate people to buy insurance.
