Quake insurance quagmire
Article Abstract:
A national catastrophic policy for the insurance industry is needed to cut down the financial burden of consumers at the time of payment against the national disaster in the region. A policy that linked homeowners and earthquake insurance proved futile as smaller companies could not enter the insurance market due to dominance of bigger ones. Lawmakers are persuading major insurance companies to go on with the homeowners market. Misuse of funds by insurance companies for campaigning has compounded the problem.
