[StBernard] Baker Plan in Flux

[Westley Annis]

NANCY,
I AGREE TOTALLY...IF THEY ARE JUST GOING TO HELP THE PEOPLE WHO CHOSE NOT TO
GET INSURANCE, WELL THEN THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD PAY ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO
CHOSE TO GET INSURANCE,  THE MONEY THAT THEY PAID TO THEIR   INSURANCE
PREMIUMS FOR THE PAST YEARS. 
I KNOW OF SOMEONE THAT DOESN'T WORK, HAD A FUNKY LITTLE HOUSE THAT WAS
FALLING DOWN AND CHOSE NOT TO CARRY INSURANCE...WELL NOW, SHE IS MAKING OUT
LIKE A FAT CAT B/C SHE IS GETTING GRANTS FROM FEMA, THE BAKER BILL WILL HELP
HER AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT IS THROWING MONEY HER WAY...SO NOW SHE WILL
BASICALLY BE ABLE TO BUILD A NICE NEW HOUSE IN ST. B WITH NO MONEY TO PAY
BACK...BASICALLY. AND SHE DIDN'T PAY A DIME TO INSURANCE. I'M REALLY
CONSIDERING THE IDEA OF PUTTING ALL MY INSURANCE MONEY INTO A SAVINGS
ACCOUNT FOR A "RAINY" DAY AND NOT GET INSURANCE. 
I'M NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN WHAT I HAD...AND WHAT I PAID
INTO...THATS ALL. 
--REALLY TIRED & FRUSTRATED

laurie,
 
i agree with you 100%......i had state farm and received my money from them,
and believe me, it definitely wasn't a 'windfall'.  and you are right, we
paid for this over the past 20 years to protect us from just such an event,
just wish we would have had more coverage, but it cost so much in st.
bernard.  anyway, just wanted to give my 'two cents'.....
