GRAPEVINE, Texas September 17 (BestWire) — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is dismayed at how his state has handled catastrophe insurance since he left office in January, telling members of the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies "we don’t really have an insurance problem; we have a natural catastrophe problem." Addressing NAMIC’s annual members convention in Grapevine, Texas…Bush at first referred obliquely to states that were "offering solutions that are as bad as the natural disasters themselves,"

before going on to express concern that "my beloved state of Florida has taken steps along that path.”
