Not your property...theirs. They paid for it, not you.
How prototypically liberal to think of something that someone else paid for as "my property".
But, I get your drift; Americans suck..bankers suck, insurors suck, lawyers suck, yeah..yeah..yeah. They owe you a house, and a life free of responsibility.
Then why to they require I insure their property? No doubt they are in a better position to self-insure than I am. Perhaps a reasonable compromise could be reached - I could insure against damage I am responsible for - kind of like a security deposit - and they could carry the risk for natural disasters, fire, and liability.

Now that you mention it, some bankers do suck. My husband and I got a auto loan through a bank and the bank took it upon themselves to purchase insurance for the car and charge us for it even though we had the required insurance. The issue came up annually for the duration of the loan.
When the loan was paid off, the bank refused to give us the pink slip claiming we owed for insurance. They also claimed that they had never received proof of insurance and indeed their file contained no such record. "Why can't you people understand...?" the bank manager asked.
Fortunately, the insurance broker copied us on all communication with the bank. While I sat in the manager's office with my file of letters between the bank and us, the insurance agency and the bank, I was privileged to hear the jerk on the phone instructing an employee to "stick" another customer with this charge and that.
In the end, we got the pink slip - no admission that the fault was on their end, no apology - just a we'll let it go this time because you're crazy, lady.
The "Americans suck" and "lawyers suck" is entirely a product of your own thinking as is your wierd comment about being "owed" a house" or a "life free of responsibility".
