In the nearly six months since Hurricane Katrina destroyed half of New Orleans, many storm victims’ expectations of help have been dashed, creating a legacy of bitterness. That legacy may be all the more painful when we consider that many homeowners suffered unnecessarily devastating losses because of their lack of insurance or their underinsurance, often owing to the belief that they could not afford the right coverage.
在卡特里娜飓风毁掉半个新奥尔良的半年后，很多飓风受害者的求助希望彻底破灭，从而引发了颇为痛苦的遗留问题。而想到很多屋主遭受到不必要损失，或者是由于未上保险或者由于自认为无力承担全部保费而选择不足额保险所致，我们便更加痛心疾首。
