It looks a good idea at face value. But it isn’t. Even the insurance industry told them not to do it. As always with this government, it’s looking to offload the problem onto us, as individuals, with our insurance. What will fix this problem is fixing the causes of the disasters we need to insure against, and introducing mitigations in the meantime. Stuff government needs to do, and pay for. They have no interest in doing that. Many people will likely be unable to access insurance at all in the near future; that’s already happening.
