Let's not forget insurance company greed. They are traded on the stock market and must provide returns to their investors. Let's not pretend they are not also part of the problem. Same with health insurance, it should never be for-profit, IMHO.

But I do agree they should be able to set the premiums, otherwise they just go bankrupt. People should not live in idiotically constructed neighborhoods in danger zones if they can't afford it. But they shouldn't be gouged.
