In fact, Ned seemingly brought the problem on himself by refusing to buy insurance.

* AngerIsHealthyAesop: Ned has had behavioral problems since he was a child and the method used to control Ned's anger overcorrected it and caused Ned to bottle up any feeling of anger, no matter how justified he is to be angry. After a series of unpredictable tragedies, Ned has a breakdown and berates the entire town for failing to help him in his time of need (despite a well-intentioned but ultimately flawed attempt at rebuilding his house). The lesson of the episode is that expressing anger isn't automatically evil, it just needs to be controlled and done appropriately.
