Fed Gov't should help REAL American Problems - Chinese drywall

Rather than slamming its critics, why doesn't the WH do something about American homeowners getting slammed with problems from imported products? This is the clear domain of the federal government, as States don't have the rights nor the resources to fight international commerce - only the Feds have that.

Hey Dems - you want to be helpful? Help Americans with REAL problems!


Fla. insurer reverses on Chinese drywall - wtop.com:

"WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Florida's public insurance company now says it will continue covering a couple's home after to renew the policy because of tainted Chinese drywall problems.

James and Maria Ivory moved back to Colorado after finding their new Gulf Coast residence was built with the imported drywall, which emits sulfuric fumes and corrodes pipes.

Citizens Property Insurance Corp. denied their claim to fix it, then said the policy wouldn't be renewed. This week, the company reversed course after a second inspection and will renew the policy.

Experts say homeowners across the country could start losing policies on homes containing the tainted materials. In some cases, it's estimated the fix could cost more than owners paid for their homes.
