I could banter all day and the inane comment.
Capitalists believe that everyone is 'the one'. They are their own 'one'. My one 'pie' to make when I get up in the morning . My one independent shot at great opportunities all around. Self reliance. Making your way, I could go on. I think that you and Suzianne are scared of that concept, and need a group! Jesus.

No, you're not "penalized" when someone else in need benefits from a program and someone not in need doesn't. Furthermore, those not in the program will get the same rate as they did before because:

"Over the last several years, FHA’s mortgage insurance fund has accumulated reserves at a level that is more than five times the required threshold set by Congress. This was made possible by HUD’s responsible and responsive management policies, home price appreciation, and significant refinance volume which together have led to an accumulation of substantial reserves. These dynamics make it possible for HUD to calibrate premiums more appropriately to the performance of the loans FHA insures and pass savings on to consumers in a responsible manner and without jeopardizing the long-term sustainability of FHA’s mortgage insurance fund. The premium reduction will take effect on March 20, and will be reflected in the President’s FY 2024 Budget. "

In other words, because the fund is running such a high surplus, the rate to poorer mortgage lenders can be reduced without effecting those already with a FHA mortgage or those who subsequently get one but don't qualify for the program.

One wonders whether the talking heads who go on right wing media are completely clueless and too lazy to do a 30 second Google search or are just willing to lie for their paycheck. That would be a good question for them, wouldn't it Joe?

So I got an FHA refi a year or two ago, and have to pay mortgage insurance for about another 9 or 10 years. If I get this correctly, my mortgage insurance in my monthly payment won't go down, but for those who get a new FHA mortgage, the percentage amount they pay in mortgage insurance will be less? Okay, I'm good with that. Good for them. Regardless what AvJoe is saying, I'm not "paying for them". It's just that those who get FHA mortgages now will pay less. What an obtuse way to look at it, that current mortgagees are paying for those who get mortgages now. That's wholly incorrect.

I simply applied some humor for a humorless forum. I wrote what Marx said in present day terms as same applies to the high credit borrower paying more than the low credit borrower. Did you see the tomes of links from Marauder? He is saying it has no effect on making low credit borrowers have a break on their loan.
Tell me this.......then what in the hell does it do? It has no effect? Who does it affect? In what way does it affect?
Marauder I think is saying it is smoke and mirrors, Then why are there articles about it? Are you aware that the low credit people would NOT be able to get a loan in their category if the high credit people did not PAY the premium to the bank, justifying the bank to then loan to the low credit people? The bank is unfazed in loaning money to low credit people, when they otherwise could not.
You will not answer this question.

You are confused as always, which is what the right wing propaganda sources want you to be.

The FHA requires those who qualify for their mortgages to purchase mortgage insurance. Reducing the premium on that insurance will have no effect on other mortgages because the " FHA’s mortgage insurance fund has accumulated reserves at a level that is more than five times the required threshold set by Congress." https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/22/homes/biden-housing-fha-insurance/index.html

In other words, the FHA can give lower income and those with not quite as high credit scores a break with the only consequence that there will be less money flowing into the mortgage insurance fund. But since that fund is far above what is necessary it is possible for " HUD to make adjustments and pass savings on to consumers without jeopardizing the long-term sustainability of FHA’s mortgage insurance fund."

I know there are a hundred articles from right wing propaganda outfits claiming that this will raise the costs to other home buyers, but that's simply not true. The "Marxists" at the National Association of Realtors and Mortgage Bankers Association both support the changes.

Because it's a stupid fricking question!

No, no one is paying for anyone else, jackass.
