My vote is we don’t, but insurance companies do. The government has never wrote me a check to subsidize my crop insurance.
I know it’s semantics.
Next year let’s wright the check to the farmers and let them choose if they want to buy insurance. Only the ones the banker forced to buy it would be writing a check.
In all reality I think they should just eliminate the subsidies, we could still purchase insurance. Would be cheaper in general due to the fact whenever the government gets involved cost increase exponentially. Health care, day care, roads…… all expensive due to the government.
Yes, the farmers get subsidized insurance, much in the same way Obamacare subsidized insurance.
You never see a check, but the premium you pay is lowered due to the subsidy.
One way it is different than Obamacare, is that the farmer must pay something to get insurance, it is never 'free' in that they pay zero out of pocket. |
Do farmers get subsidized crop insurance?
