    That’s an entirely different argument, and your math is way off.

    You pay $2000 a month for 360 months

    I’m pretty sure the insurance is closer to $2000 per year. So $2000 per year for 30 years is $60000, which is not going to cover the total loss on a $300000 home. $2000 per month would be on something like a $10million home.

    They’ve been collecting insurance payments on those houses WITHOUT LOSSES for many months.

    If there had been no losses, people wouldn’t have needed insurance. There are 1000s of homes insured and some percentage of them will have had some amountof payouts from the pool of money. Insurance pays out for lots of different types of losses, and they have to weigh the risks. They’re not charities.

    Don’t get me wrong, insurance is a racket and they will do everything they can to deny coverage and stuff the pockets of their investors. But if you want to force them to provide coverage when there’s pretty much guaranteed losses, they will just exit the business altogether.
