FAIR Guiding Principles: A Defined Perspective on Potential Policy Solutions Given their universal scope, pandemics are largely uninsurable. Therefore, only the government has the financial capacity to provide the relief small and large businesses need to weather this crisis. Proposed solutions must: Maintain the federal government as a primary provider of relief, reflecting the reality that pandemic risks are not privately insurable. Provide widely accessible relief payments to businesses in a fast and efficient manner once a pandemic is declared by the government, with minimal chance of abuse. Protect businesses from losses, and incentivize businesses to retain employees, without jeopardizing insurers' existing commitments. 2020 NAIC INSURANCE SUMMIT 30
