Reinsurance doesn't make the problem go away. Sure it caps State Farm's exposure to these correlated events, but it won't bring their combined ratio into balance. State Farm would still be on the hook for the first $XXX mill

It's the opposite where I am: landlords raising rates to capture more of those sweet student loan dollars. The policy of making access to credit cheap and ubiquitous for students has led to drastic growth in rents (in addition to a lar
