The guaranty association was the companies idea. They fought against FDIC type oversight.They are crap because they are not pre-funded by fees/premium taxes to consumers & they are not backed by any state or federal government. I assure you insurance carriers don't love how the associations are funded by good companies that managed their company conservatively getting a bill to make a poorly run carrier with bad sales practices customers whole.
