In the News Terrorism insurance pits NFL and NHL against tea party
R.J. Lehmann, an insurance analyst and co-founder of the free-market R Street Institute, favors a slimmed-down TRIA program, rather than complete termination, acknowledging that “terrorism insurance is a little more complicated” than flood insurance. Private terrorism insurance may not be available if the program ends, he said.
He added that “with flood insurance, you’re subsidizing people to take risks they wouldn’t otherwise take. It’s not clear with terrorism insurance that that’s generally a problem.”
