"Homeowners around Louisiana will face larger insurance bills to help cover the borrowing a state-created insurance company will do to pay for insured home damage after hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

That borrowing will be paid off gradually by assessing private insurance companies a regular fee that they can pass onto all their Louisiana customers -- by increasing premiums by as much as 20 percent each year until the debt is paid."
