the Pass Through: Compromising America’s Public Interests

This study of the National Flood Insurance Program looks at the consequences of using private industry to solve an essential public need. The concluding section and accompanying video explain implications of the report's findings on public options, healthcare reform, and the use of private insurance to solve a cost problem.

The Pass Through: Compromising America’s Public Interests is part of our new series on government insurance programs and their effects on middle-income families. It is particularly useful in showing how public programs can work and why many cannot work. It is particularly useful in understanding proposed healthcare reforms.

Five Ways to Contribute to This Project:

We are non-partisan public service project, working under a not-for-profit business model. Most of our time is donated, and we would make more money flipping burgers. It is not about money.

Our 2010 goal is to build public awareness about public policies that harm middle-income families. For decades, public policies have disproportionately tapped middle-income resources while benefiting a privileged class. It is a problem because it drains you of your ability to provide for your family and set aside funds for your future. It also is getting worse.

Although politicians claim to work for all Americans, the policies they implement indicate they work for a small subset (less than 2%) of the population. Chances are you are not among them.
