adjustment affordable annual areas both charge companies consumers continue coverage current customers depend either election expansion higher increased insurance larger limit low million property provide rural section small strongly supports tied
NAMIC strongly supports the expansion of Section 831(b)(2). The modification of this section is very important to the communities that depend on small property/casualty insurance companies to provide them with affordable property insurance. Many small companies are approaching the current $1.2 million limit and both they and their customers will be adversely impacted if it is not raised. With the increased election level, tied to an annual adjustment in the cost-of-living, these insurance companies can continue to keep premiums low in rural areas where larger insurers either do not write coverage or charge higher premiums than consumers can afford.
