If I read this right, it limits the amount of profits an insurance company can make. If I don't file any claims, then the company must refund part of my premiums? Why don't they do this for car insurance, home insurance, and life insurance? I didn't wreck this year, my house didn't burn down, I didn't die, so I want my premiums back.
I don't think you're reading it right, it means in the aggregate, not for individuals. Their
aggregate payout has to be at least 80/85% of
total premiums received from
all policyholders each year, NOT their payout to you vs. premiums paid by you. Now they certainly could get under the threshold at the end of the year by a pro rata refund to policyholders of the surplus, but I'd expect the typical check to be pretty small in relation to the premiums if they did.
