Some of these insurance companies will not have enough reserves to pay out their claims. They will have re-insurance which is insurance insurance companies buy. Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway Reinsurance is one of the largest.
Many companies anticipated the loss risk and stopped selling in CA... The number I saw today was a snapshot in time early this morning but at $20B+. It'll only get bigger...
