At Plexus, we enjoy reading about insurance -- and we think you will, too. Here are five industry-related stories we are sharing, bookmarking, and scrolling through as the work week rolls on:  
 -- The U.S. House has voted to reauthorize the [National Flood Insurance Program](http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/360350-house-passes-bill-to-renew-overhaul-federal-flood-insurance).

-- Do journalists need liability insurance? The *Columbia Journalism Review* explores what coverage interested [writers, editors, and other media personalities](https://www.cjr.org/business_of_news/journalist-liability-insurance-freelance.php) might need if they are considering carrying insurance.

-- When the cost of health coverage for retirees was mistakenly omitted from the budget, an Indiana county suddenly realized it had a nearly [$6 million deficit](https://www.southbendtribune.com/news/local/a-million-error-st-joseph-county-health-insurance-fund-is/article_6c65307b-5e10-51f9-9ae8-e93c4e128411.html) on its hands.

-- More than a dozen states now carry [cyber liability insurance](https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2017/11/13/470991.htm).

-- Florida legislators are weighing changing the rules regarding "assignment of benefits," where [homeowners seeking to make insurance claims](http://www.ocala.com/news/20171114/house-wades-into-property-insurance-controversy) give power to contractors to handle all elements of the claims process.
