With U.S. insurance companies facing criticism over their response to the coronavirus outbreak, three industry groups on Thursday proposed putting the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in charge of a taxpayer-backed program to protect businesses from revenue losses during future pandemics.

Insurers announced the plan after facing lawsuits, political pressure and criticism from customers with business interruption policies over not covering their financial hardships due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some want a program similar to the government-supported commercial terrorism products that followed the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and require insurers to pay part of the claims, before U.S. taxpayers take over.
