From the supplier: Private insurance companies must actively encourage participation in federal insurance programs or risk losing catastrophe coverage opportunities if the government is forced to mandate participation. The government will pay out billions of dollars to finance loans and disaster relief to the uninsured victims of the Midwestern states rainstorms and floods. The Clinton administration has indicated it may mandate participation in government programs to finance future disaster relief unless agents and lenders can encourage greater participation in private and public catastrophe insurance coverage.
