That's fine, but what happens when this expands with the the increasing effects of climate change? What happens when Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas health insurance costs triple because of the risks of extreme heat? What about New Orleans or locations prone to extreme storms or hurricanes?

Huge patches of countries all over the world are soon to become uninsurable because climate change makes it too dangerous to live there.

What about New Orleans or locations prone to extreme storms or hurricanes?

It has already been happening in New Orleans for years now. There are very few insurers left.
