Must say that I do not agree with your point about induvidual homeowners policies having low profit rates. You have to remember that the ratio of claims to policies is small. Therefore MOST of the policies out there are profitable for them by quite a large margin, and the ones that aren't get dropped.

I will offer proof of that as well. Look at the profitibility of General Casualty and American Family for the last year. (Both of these are local to Wi with their headquarters here.) If you want the figures, I can post them, but they are available on line for anybody to see.

This is NOT a low profit business, and they are charging premiums WELL in EXCESS of what they need to operate.

One other thing--I could be wrong, but do not believe premiums to regulated in Wis. I think they can charge whatever they wish.
