13 What the First Dollars Markets are going to Say (EMC/WSI)… “Too many meetings and too much of a time commitment.” “The pool has the ability to be assessed.” “The price you see is NOT the price you will pay!” “These pools make use of the E&S Markets. The carriers used are not AM Best Rated.” “To get the program started the insurance companies will undercut premiums in the first year. The carriers will jack up the premiums/rates in year two of the program.” “If you decide to leave the Pool, you have to take your Claims with you.”
