The study shows that malpractice insurance companies consistently overstate how much they expect to pay in claims and in amounts far beyond the margin of reasonable error. By manipulating their books to misrepresent their 'losses,' the insurers have profited in two ways. First, they have used the inflated numbers to justify rate increases that were unnecessary and excessive. Second, they have invoked their exaggerated loss estimates to promote legislation allowing these insurers to limit how much compensation they have to pay out to victims of medical negligence.

With limits on the rights of victims of medical negligence, insurance companies spend less money on patients and more money on insurance company lawyers, but insurers do not lower rates for doctors. Lawmakers looking to California as a model for malpractice insurance reform must understand that regulation worked and liability caps did not.

This legislation would act as a disincentive for insurers to innovate and create new insurance programs. In addition this bill could hurt small carriers in the market. There are over 200 insurers that write property and casualty insurance in Colorado and the vast majority of them are smaller companies. These restrictions to use only Colorado data could make it difficult for them to price their product competitively in our state.

We support the legislation introduced by Senators Jim Ritchie and Scott Richardson along with Rep. Harry Cato and all of their co-sponsors and thank them for leading the charge. The dramatic cost increases are hurting the state's business climate. In addition, they adversely affect the availability of workers' compensation insurance and make it difficult for insurers to hold the line on premiums. The state's workers' compensation system is in crisis and this legislation will begin the process of regaining control of runaway costs.

Given the massive catastrophe losses absorbed by insurers in nine-months 2005, the increase in income and surplus during the first three quarters of the year is a testament to the underlying financial health of the industry. But we can't afford to lose sight of the fact that, as bad as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were, insurers and the public remain exposed to far more devastating catastrophes that could strain insurers' ability to fulfill their obligations to policyholders. According to PCS, Hurricane Katrina caused a record $38.1 billion in direct insured losses to property. But catastrophe modeling by AIR Worldwide shows we face the prospect of hurricanes causing more than $100 billion in damage. Even as we applaud insurers' success coping with the catastrophes of 2005, we must do more to assure that insurers and the people they serve will survive when even more devastating storms strike.

U.S. healthcare insurers process over five billion claims annually and the ability to accurately verify medical necessity coverage early in the process is expected to be a major benefit in expediting claims processing for providers and their patients. Now that Part D is a reality, insurers - in particular - will be eager to have a solution that can quickly and accurately integrate Part D requirements into their current workflow.

Home mortgages offered through insurers are likely to grow in the future, ... Customers get the added convenience of coordinating their home buying activities and reduce the paperwork while insurers get an alternate revenue stream uncorrelated with the insurance cycle and unaffected by catastrophe losses.

[Insurers say storm-surge damage is the same as flood damage.] Insurers have never collected a penny in flood-insurance premiums, ... If they're forced to pay, it could quite possibly be destabilizing and lead to the insolvency of smaller insurers in the area.

Obviously, we disagree with the ruling and will consider an appeal at the appropriate time. However, these three insurers' coverage amounts to a total of $112 million per occurrence, so that limiting these insurers to a single occurrence does not have a material effect on the overall amounts of $6.7 billion to be recovered in the litigation.

It appears many insurers would be severely damaged, if not bankrupted, by a disproportionate share of a $10 billion loss. We believe that a certain amount of insurers may simply withdraw from writing certain lines of business.

NAMIC strongly supports the expansion of Section 831(b)(2). The modification of this section is very important to the communities that depend on small property/casualty insurance companies to provide them with affordable property insurance. Many small companies are approaching the current $1.2 million limit and both they and their customers will be adversely impacted if it is not raised. With the increased election level, tied to an annual adjustment in the cost-of-living, these insurance companies can continue to keep premiums low in rural areas where larger insurers either do not write coverage or charge higher premiums than consumers can afford.

[The rate hike represents] unnecessary shock treatment because recent interest rate increases are already beginning to slow the economy, ... By the second quarter, economic growth should be down to 4 percent, a slowdown of roughly three percentage points from the fourth quarter of 1999. Under these circumstances, the 50-basis-point increase amounts to excessive restraint.

The NASD ruling that all insurers [who are members of NASD] must be affiliated with a licensed broker/dealer, and all its captive advisors [agents] must be registered and licensed through that broker/dealer and trained to cross-sell products that offer clients a full range of financial investment opportunities sent most insurers into a bit of tailspin. It couldn't be just life insurance anymore. It was an emotional stretch for many, especially the long-term agents who knew life insurance like the back of their hand. Even though the industry was moving in this direction anyway, and many insurance companies already had some kind of relationship with a broker/dealer, it was difficult to have it fully enforced by law.
