Federal Report Says Coverage Is Available, But Not Affordable for Key Threats
A Bush administration study says that insurance coverage for terrorism-related claims is more available and more affordable than it was after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. But the report, issued Oct. 2, also says capacity is limited and prices "relatively high" for insurance for chemical, nuclear, biological and radiological threats.
The study doesn't contain recommendations about whether the current federal backstop for terrorism insurance should be continued past its current expiration at the end of 2007.
