I could be wrong, but I don't believe your calling him a "flaming libertarian" was a compliment.

I read Reason mag on a regular basis. There is some stuff in it that wouldn't sit well with social conservatives.I know what you mean. It took only one issue in a trial subscription offer for me to return the bill marked, "Cancel." We really didn't see eye-to-eye; it'd been well over 20 years since I'd said goodbye to the bong.

Thats what insurance companies do, accept the least amount of risk. just like automobile insurance: you have too many claims, they drop you and then you can only get insured thru a state "insurance pool"

For all practical purposes, there is no such thing as private flood insurance.

Correction. It's what Republicans call republicans, over their shoulder.

I have level II which is off the beach with several ft elevation and it's roughly 50 per 1K. I think there's a 5, or 10K deductible. I cannot imagine what private insurance would be.
Thanks everyone for the subsidy!

There was a time when many stances now considered "libertarian" (small l, not large L) were considered conservative.

What I want to know is why private flood insurance wasn't offered? I mean, not in NOLA, but in places that might flood twice a century?
Who would pay a higher rate for private insurance when the government is right there offering cheap insurance?
Private insurance does indeed exist; it covers the amounts above what FEMA will pay. You get cheap for the first 250k, and the rest is pretty cheap as well since you have a 250k deductible.
