The Climate Election: How climate will impact your bills, health and more
The next president could have a big impact on climate change policies. Here are 11 ways the issue could impact your health, bills, natural disaster recovery and more.
Flood Insurance
Is U.S. flood insurance program low on funds?
The damage from Hurricanes Milton and Helene is expected to cost tens of billions of dollars. The primary option for millions of Americans facing storm damage is the National Flood Insurance Program, but some lawmakers are raising concerns that the fund could get overwhelmed with claims. Republican Rep. Garret Graves of Louisiana joins "America Decides" to discuss.

Examining Helene's financial aftermath
Moody's Analytics predicts Hurricane Helene will cause $15 to $26 billion in property damage alone, and AccuWeather estimates the total damage and economic loss could cost up to $110 billion. These figures would make Helene one of the most expensive storms in the country's history. Mark Friedlander, spokesperson for the Insurance Information Institute, joins CBS News to explain how the natural disaster will impact home insurance prices.
