If you have a house which is falling down from ter­mites, has a leaky roof, iron plumb­ing, stopped up sep­tic tank, or what­ever, and you approach a home insur­ance com­pany, want­ing full cov­er­age for your house, and they say “you’ve got to be kid­ding,” should the D.C. Gang force the insur­ance com­pany to issue you a home­own­ers pol­icy? If you never cut your grass, never paint, never shovel snow off your side­walk, and your neigh­bors con­sider you a men­ace, would any insur­ance com­pany issue you a pol­icy? Both Dems and Repubs might want big daddy gov­ern­ment to force them to issue it, assum­ing the health care thing goes into effect. Why not throw pre-existing con­di­tions out the win­dow for home cov­er­age?
