California Home Insurance

By Richard Gonzales
Published December 16, 2002 at 12:00 AM EST

NPR's Richard Gonzales reports that home insurance is a looming problem in California: thousands of homeowners are complaining that they lost their insurance or had their rates hiked just because they filed a claim -- or even because they inquired about filing a claim. A state Senate committee and the new insurance commissioner are promising a thorough review of the system.
