Instead, new evidence suggests insurance companies were about as "broke" as a tourist trying to buy a beachfront condo in Miami.
The Great Insurance Magic Trick
For years, Floridians were told that rising insurance premiums were the unfortunate byproduct of hurricanes, increased claims, and—let’s be honest—probably someone sneezing too hard near the coastline.
But thanks to a public records request, it turns out the real storm wasn’t the weather—it was money mysteriously vanishing into the pockets of insurance executives.
According to a previously hidden 2022 report, insurers in Florida cried poverty while conveniently funneling billions of dollars to affiliate companies, handing out $680 million in dividends to shareholders, and probably popping champagne while Floridians wondered why their premiums cost more than their actual homes.
House leadership in Tallahassee is now calling for an investigation—because, you know, it’s totally normal for massive financial mismanagement to go unnoticed for years until someone digs up the receipts.
Wait, So You're Telling Me They Lied?
"Look, I’m not an insurance expert," said the House Speaker, with the same level of confidence as someone reading their first HOA contract. "But I do think the people of Florida deserve to look into this themselves."
Translation: We just found out about this, too, and we have questions. A lot of questions.
The subcommittee now has the power to issue subpoenas, interrogate witnesses under oath, and—most importantly—hire experts who actually understand how this whole thing works.
Meanwhile, some lawmakers are also suggesting that the state’s attorney general take a peek at this potential financial crime scene.
The “Oops, We Forgot” Defense
Naturally, the Office of Insurance Regulation had a response ready: “Oh, that report? It was just a draft. No big deal.”
Yes, you heard that right—apparently, the document that details billions of dollars in sketchy financial moves was just a rough draft, like some half-baked term paper that never made it to final submission.
Florida homeowners, however, are a little less forgiving.
After years of doubling insurance payments, only to hear that the money went anywhere but to them, they now have some important questions:
✔ If insurance companies were so broke, why did their executives get millions in bonuses?
✔ If a report exposing all of this was available in 2022, why are we just hearing about it now?
✔ Most importantly—can we get a refund, or is that money already funding some CEO’s fourth yacht?
What Happens Next?
Well, folks, welcome to the thrilling saga of Florida Insurance: The Sequel.
If history tells us anything, expect hours of hearings, dramatic finger-pointing, and, ultimately, somebody getting thrown under the metaphorical bus (but definitely not the people who made millions).
As for Floridians? They’ll be watching closely, hoping that this investigation leads to actual accountability—and maybe, just maybe, lower insurance bills.
Or, you know, at least a free toaster as an apology.
