I like West...but if he is for government subsidies for people who live in hurricane and flood prone areas, by their own choice, I might have to reconsider. I hope I’m wrong.

He's not for that. This is about wind damage coverage for the State of Florida. Not flood damage. And he's clearly supporting a regional solution between States that have the same problem as Florida.

Name a place that is not subject to some form of natural disaster.

West's solution suggestions:

1. Take a Regional approach to the issue. Florida is not the only state to suffer catastrophic losses in a storm. 2. Have insurance companies pool resources across state lines to minimize risk and increase coverage options. 3. Allow tax credits to cover catastrophic repairs beyond insurance payouts. 4. Continue to refine the process in later phases – but get workable solutions on the table now!

I think these are reasonable and practical approaches.
