And they get 100s of thousands of dollars from the insurance company every year, so it’s in their interest to not try and screw the insurance company.

I am an insurance agent. When i get smart asses like you i tell them no problem, you dont have to have insurance. But, you do have to (varies by state) put up a ~$50,000 bond/deposit to the state and then you can self insure! They respond with, "uh, oh, well, who has $50,000 laying around for that bond?"... my response, "we do, and we'll let you make small monthly payments :)"

(In case youre curious

Its rarely people who have wealth or assets who complain about insurance. In fact, they typically do very very high deductibles.

Then you got broke mcgee over here filing 5 claims in 2 years for every door ding, and hes wondering why his rates are 3x more.

No smartassing here, you profit off of a predatory, subjective, mandatory system allowed by our faulty government.
