An effective system of national disasters programme are found, so that when there is a disaster, we have not, “Air Force One Policy”, in the plane Air Force One and we are approaching $ 20 billion, Alabama Insurance Commissioner Walter Bell said independent members of the Alabama insurance agent during its 19 annual legislative conference hosted by AIIA committee of young officers Montgomery, Ala.
“This policy is not working,” said Bell. “It’s going to cost, it cost me, and it’s free all taxpayers in this country. We need a plan, you’re active, that we actively, and this is a way of working for consumers.
“Nobody wants another Katrina, while Hurricane prognosticators say that we have a very, very dangerous season this year.”
Bell, in December, is the takeover as chairman of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners will try, set a national emergency plan.
“Will it protect America plan proposed by the company Allstate? Nobody knows at this time to plan what it is at this point,” says Bell. “Are we going to put anything in the same policy? Who knows?”
Bell said someone has yet something about the National Flood Insurance Program.
“We can not continue to $ 23 billion in a program, which is without a penny,” said Bell. “Anyway, we need something new. In Japan, she man a tax rebate for the purchase of insurance earthquakes, it is something that we need to encourage people to buy.
“If you’re not to buy, then the Confederation, for those who have not yet bought insurance, and we see all the time, they pay for FEMA, for money of $ 480 per night hotel, and why do I need insurance, “said Bell.” We must change the mentality in this country. People should be aware that the government is not to worry more to encourage them to ’spirit.

“You get your driving licence for four years and the state is not a problem, do you think, so that we can figure, we can keep with you at least two years in the insurance market,” said Bell . “The law is only at home, quite rightly, they came from banks and insurance committee of the Assembly last week, and all we have to be done, it is now to get in home. “
