Particularly in the hurricane zone that stretches from Texas to South Carolina, homeowners have paid ever-higher homeowners’ insurance rates as government-backed insurance entities have grown ever larger. This conference will focus on ways that the United States can retain a vibrant, private insurance industry that provides rationally priced insurance for everyone without placing an enormous burden on taxpayers.
