To maintain profitability, insurance companies have to take in more in monthly premium payments from customers than they pay out in damage claims.
This has prompted insurance companies to back out of certain markets or pressure states to raise caps on premiums.
Without robust rate caps such as those in California, insurance costs have risen by over 200% while DeSantis has been in office.
He also signed legislation in December that protects insurance companies from liability claims and disincentivizes homeowners from filing claims to begin with.
Despite these policies, insurance prices have continued to go up and insurers have continued to flee the market.
